The Botanic Garden is a great setting for filming, photography, painting and drawing.
Paying visitors are welcome to take photographs to share on social media.
If you are a professional photographer, artist or production company, you will need to contact us to arrange your visit.
Before you arrive, you will need:
- an agreed date and time
- a signed copy of your location agreement
- a signed copy of the agreed risk assessment
- an agreement to pay your fee to the Garden
We love to see the Garden enjoyed and used for creative work and always look forward to seeing the results.
We will make arrangements to make your visit hassle free and enjoyable.
The Garden will remain open to the public unless you request exclusive access. We may be able to arrange access outside our usual opening times.
If you do want exclusive or out-of-hours access, contact us at least four weeks before your planned visit date to arrange this.
