With its time capsule feel, beautiful architecture and green spaces, Port Sunlight is an ideal and popular film location.
We have welcomed TV crews from Michael Portillo’s Great British Railways Journeys, Antiques Roadshow, Flog it!, Songs of Praise, Grand Designs: The Streets, and more.
Port Sunlight has also welcomed larger film crews for feature length television programmes and films including the Oscar winning Chariots of Fire (1981), award winning TV series Peaky Blinders (2013-21), the biopic of Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien, Tolkien (2019), and Bolan’s Shoes (2023) starring Timothy Spall.
2024 sees the release of Midas Man, a biopic of Beatles manager Brian Epstein, which was partly filmed at Bridge Cottage, Hulme Hall and other village locations.
