If you are searching for shots in Birmingham that have a big city feel but can be anywhere in the world, consider locations such as 60 Severn Street or Millenium Point in the city’s Eastside. For large-scale stadium shoots, consider the iconic Villa Park or St Andrew’s. If you need busy street scenes, shopping areas such as The Bullring, or The Custard Factory offer exciting and colourful visuals among the bustling city streets. For a more urban and backstreet feel, consider areas around The Canal Edge or the heart of the city’s art scene in Digbeth. Municipal properties such as Grand Central Station, the Old Fire Station on Lancaster Circus or the Council House are also popular choices. While it may seem surprising to some, the city also offers a range of beautiful open landscapes and natural reserves available for filming. Check out Edgbaston Reservoir or Cannon Hill Park, among many splendid choices.

To hire a filming location in the city, you will need to receive a permit from Film Birmingham. Prices for the application will vary according to the size of the shoot and any extras required, such as city staff to manage parking, insurance, risk assessment costs, or garbage removal. Expect costs for this process to range between £40 to £400.
