Tell us what you have in mind

Country life, in the frame.

Food and lifestyle stories, fashion photography, interviews or a small film crew. The Oast and the estate offer different settings within one location, with access and availability agreed for each project.

Send us a short brief and the dates you are considering. Ali and Sharon will discuss which spaces could suit, the practical arrangements and a tailored location-hire quote.

Location hire

Hire is quoted for the spaces, dates, hours and scale of the shoot. We will confirm access, parking, equipment and power requirements, and any preparation space together before agreeing a booking. A location visit can be discussed.

Commercial filming and photography require a separate agreement. An overnight accommodation booking does not include location-hire permission.

Staying overnight

The Oast sleeps four in two bedrooms, with a minimum stay of two nights. Accommodation is subject to availability and priced separately; tell us if you would like to combine it with a shoot.
