Location Managers Familiarisation Trip

On the 9th and 10th March our department hosted a Familiarisation Trip for 10 feature film, television drama and commercials Location Managers - all of whom were members of the Guild of Location Managers. The two day trip took in potential filming locations in Gloucestershire, South Glos, Bristol and Bath, including Chavenage House, Cotswold Airport, Badminton House, the Roman Baths and the Bank of England building.

The trip received very positive feedback which included: ‘Thanks you so much for the last few days. It was a pleasure to be shown workable film locations by people who understand what we do', and... ‘Thank you so much for an excellent fam trip. I thoroughly enjoyed it as I think everyone did. It was a great mix of locations and gave us a really informed overview of the area'.

Huge thanks must go to Access Bookings who managed to secure accommodation and drinks at The Bristol Hotel, dinner at the Hotel Du Vin, and lunch at the Mecure Bath Francis Hotel. Other contributors to the event were Bristol City Council, Bath & NE Somerset Council, South Gloucestershire Council, Gloucester City Council, and Cheltenham Borough Council.

We are hoping to run similar trips to the other counties in our region in the near future.
