Filming in Leicestershire – Locations, Landmarks and Brand Storytelling
By Mediabox Productions – Filming Across Leicestershire & the East Midlands
Leicestershire sits at the heart of England — a county where heritage meets innovation and every backdrop tells a story. From historic parklands and grand estates to dynamic cityscapes and modern campuses, it’s a location that offers both cinematic beauty and commercial practicality.
At Mediabox Productions, we’ve filmed across Leicestershire for more than 17 years — producing corporate films, brand campaigns and broadcast content that connect authenticity with ambition. Here’s why this region stands out for filmmakers and brands alike.
Bradgate Park – Natural Drama in the Heart of England
Set among ancient oak trees and rolling hills, Bradgate Park is one of the Midlands’ most evocative landscapes. The ruins of Bradgate House and the iconic Old John Tower bring visual texture and historical weight, while its open moorland is perfect for drone work and wide establishing shots.
We’ve filmed here for wellbeing campaigns, outdoor brands and tourism films — often using early-morning light or low-fog conditions to build mood. It’s cinematic, accessible and instantly recognisable as quintessentially English.
Belvoir Castle & Winstanley House – Heritage with a Modern Edge
Perched above the Vale of Belvoir on the Leicestershire–Lincolnshire border, Belvoir Castle delivers stately-home grandeur without the southern logistics. Its sandstone turrets, ornate halls and panoramic terraces have featured in The Crown and The Young Victoria — giving commercial productions instant cinematic scale.
Leicester City – Culture, Innovation and Colour
Leicester’s city centre brings together history, diversity and modern energy. From the glass curves of Curve Theatre and the regenerated Cultural Quarter to bustling markets and café terraces, it’s visually rich and flexible.
Our work here often focuses on education, healthcare and tech sectors — industries drawn to the city’s innovation story. The mix of Victorian brick, reflective glass and street murals allows for both corporate polish and urban realism in the same shoot day.
Loughborough – The Power of Innovation and Sport
Loughborough is synonymous with performance — home to one of the world’s leading universities for sport and design. Its Science and Enterprise Park offers modern architecture and open space ideal for kinetic, forward-looking content.
We’ve filmed here for digital-skills campaigns, training pieces and corporate profiles — using movement, symmetry and space to suggest growth and progress. For brands that want a modern, aspirational tone, Loughborough delivers.
