Filming in Derby & Derbyshire: The East Midlands’ Cinematic Heartland

From grand estates and medieval halls to rugged moorland and vibrant city streets, Derbyshire and Derby offer filmmakers the best of both worlds: timeless heritage and contemporary texture. At Mediabox Productions, we’ve spent over 17 years filming across the East Midlands — bringing stories to life from Chatsworth to the Peak District.

Chatsworth House – Pride, Prestige & Period Perfection

Chatsworth House – Golden-hour view of a grand stately home in rolling countryside

Few locations carry cinematic gravitas like Chatsworth House, the iconic Derbyshire estate that starred as Pemberley in Pride & Prejudice and The Duchess. Its baroque façades, river setting and rolling parkland make it ideal for brand films, tourism campaigns and luxury storytelling.

Haddon Hall – Medieval Elegance Reimagined

Haddon Hall near Bakewell in Derbyshire, a historic medieval stone manor with ivy-covered walls, riverside gardens, and Tudor-style windows, captured in soft morning light

Set above the River Wye near Bakewell, Haddon Hall offers a perfectly preserved glimpse of Tudor England. It’s been featured in Mary Queen of Scots and Jane Eyre, making it a go-to backdrop for authenticity and heritage.

Hardwick Hall – Dramatic, Distinctive & Unmistakable

Hardwick Hall – Symmetrical Elizabethan hall on a hill. Prompt: “Large Elizabethan country house with tall glass windows, sandstone colour, open sky background.

“Hardwick Hall, more glass than wall” — and more screen presence than most. This Elizabethan masterpiece doubled as Malfoy Manor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Its bold symmetry and elevated position give it powerful cinematic framing.

The Peak District – Nature’s Epic Backdrop

Sweeping valleys, limestone ridges and ancient woodland have made the Peak District a natural stage for everything from thrillers to romance. Perfect for drone work, tourism projects or brand storytelling rooted in nature.

Derby City – Industrial Heritage Meets Modern Edge

Derby City – Urban contrast. Prompt: “Derby city skyline at dusk, combining historic mills, modern buildings and the River Derwent, professional tone.

Derby itself is no stranger to film. The city’s blend of Victorian architecture, modern engineering hubs and riverside renewal make it perfect for corporate and urban storytelling. Industrial textures and smart offices coexist within minutes of green spaces — ideal for contrast in narrative work.
