Bramham Park
Bramham Park is a stunning 17th Century Country House set in 5600 acres of private estate less than 30 minutes' drive from Leeds City Centre. The house was built in 1698 and features a wealth of 17th and 18th century interiors ranging from the imposing entrance hall and opulent long gallery to a whole host of corridors, staircases and less formal rooms, all of which offer an excellent setting for both period and contemporary film and television drama production.
Bramham Park's famous landscape was laid out over the first 30 years of the 18th century by Robert Benson, 1st Lord Bingley. Covering 250 acres, the formal grounds boast a range of beautiful 17th & 18th century follies and water features. The surrounding estate also includes around 1200 acres of mixed woodland together with open countryside, farmhouses, cottages and private access roads.
Bramham Park has played host to a number of television dramas and feature films, including:
- The Secret Diaries Of Miss Anne Lister (2009, Oxford Film and Television)
- Wuthering Heights (2008, Mammoth Screen)
- Diamond Geezer, (ITV Studios)
- Lost in Austen, pictured (2007, Mammoth Screen)
- Micawber (Granada Television)
- The Chase (2006-07, Rollem Productions)
- 1920 (2007, ASA Films)
- Albert's Memorial (ITV)
With over 300 years of history, Braham Park has survived the ravages of two World Wars and a devastating house fire, yet the same family still lives at Bramham and cares for its heritage. As well as playing host to Yorkshire productions, Bramham Park has also been home to Leeds music festival since 2003, which continues to draw crowds of up 70,000 people to Bramham each year.
