Filming in the Norwich area
Norwich welcomes film makers. If you want to film on private property, you will need to seek permission from the relevant property owners – eg Cathedral, Castle and other historic sites. The same applies to council properties such as Norwich Market & Elm Hill.  It is advisable to contact Norwich City Council’s film-friendly team for guidance beforehand. The film-friendly team has the information and contacts you need and can advise you on the best way to proceed.
