Why Productions Choose Us in Hampshire
Experience, reliability, and the vehicles that make scenes.
Production-Experienced Drivers
Our drivers understand production environments: call times, safety briefings, camera car positioning, and the patience required for takes. They work with your crew, not around them.
Production Insurance Arranged
We source specific production insurance for each shoot — covering the vehicle as a prop, as a driving feature, and for on-set static use. We never supply vehicles for production on standard hire policies.
Hampshire Locations Knowledge
We know Highclere Castle, Eastrop Park, Highclere Castle, the The Malls, and the city's most photogenic streets. We can advise on location suitability for specific vehicles and assist with pre-shoot recces.

Film & TV Locations Near Basingstoke
North Hampshire offers a remarkable concentration of diverse filming locations — from Tudor ruins and National Trust estates to purpose-built studio facilities — all within 25 miles of Basingstoke.
Basing House — Tudor Ruins
Basing House (Old Basing, 2 miles east of Basingstoke) contains the ruins of one of the largest Tudor palaces ever built, a standing 1535 Great Barn, fishponds, and an orchard. The site is officially registered for commercial filming by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. Its combination of ruined brick architecture, open grassland, and atmospheric stonework provides a versatile period setting — our supercars photograph dramatically against the ancient gatehouse walls.
Highclere Castle — Downton Abbey Estate
Highclere Castle (17 miles north, near Newbury) is one of the UK's most recognised filming locations as the exterior and interior setting for ITV's Downton Abbey and both feature films. The Victorian baronial castle sits in 5,000 acres of Capability Brown-landscaped parkland. Available for commercial shoots by arrangement with the estate, our fleet vehicles provide period-appropriate or contemporary contrast against the castle's grand Victorian facade.
Shinfield Studios — Reading
Shinfield Studios (20 miles north via M3/M4, RG2) opened in June 2024 with 18 sound stages covering nearly 1,000,000 sq ft — one of the UK's most significant new studio facilities. Easily accessible from Basingstoke for vehicle deliveries to major streaming and feature film productions. Our fleet provides hero car work, static display, and motion filming for productions that require both a studio base and authentic Hampshire location shoots.
Milestones Museum & Hampshire Sets
Milestones Museum in Basingstoke recreates Hampshire street scenes from Victorian times through the 1930s, with period buildings, an operational pub interior, and vintage vehicles — all under controlled indoor conditions. The museum is available for period drama and documentary filming. The Amazon Prime spy series Citadel (2023) used the Festival Place area of Basingstoke. Hampshire's agricultural countryside provides authentic rural period drama backdrops throughout the year.
