FURTHERMORE
Ingatestone Hall lies at the heart of a 3000 acre rural estate which provides a wide range of other potential settings - open countryside, woodland, farmhouses large and small, cottages and farm buildings.
We are always open to negotiation on the fee charged for locations and we are conscious of how the scale of individual productions will influence what producers can afford. Generally, the rates recommended by the Historic Houses Association are acceptable.
We aim to provide producers with something more than mere access to the land and buildings on the Ingatestone Hall estate.
- We are normally able to permit (temporary) alterations to the layout and appearance of the settings. We can often provide additional furniture and props ourselves but, if not, visiting companies are free to bring in their own.
- We can provide you with information about local resources that you may require to support your shoot viz. the local authority, hospital, accommodation and catering resources and local tradesmen and suppliers.
- We have a good knowledge of other sites of widely different character throughout the County - in terms of landscape, Essex is one of the most disparate of counties, from deeply rural to urban/industrial. Where we cannot ourselves provide you with the location you are seeking, we try always to advise you about other sites to investigate and can often provide introductions thereto.
