In principle you don’t need a permit to take private photographs and make non-commercial films in the Landscape Park. This includes, for example, stag and hen nights, family pictures, wedding photos, model photography (TfP), Cosplay photo shooting (please have a look at our guidance notes under point 15), photography meetings, photography trips, school and academic project work etc. This excludes, however, photography or filming involving vehicles, large animals and productions requiring technical installations in the grounds. In such cases we’re happy to issue a permit, for which there is a charge, once the date has been agreed.

The photos taken and films made can subsequently be used for private use in all media without restriction.

Agencies, TV companies, professional photographers, companies, commercial photography courses and commercial YouTube film makers require a permit in all cases. This also applies to all projects intending to publish the material created in the park for advertising purposes, e.g. in advertising campaigns, flyers, calendars, posters, postcards, etc. We’re happy to issue a permit, for which there is a charge, once the date has been agreed.
