How we work with production companies

Russell Lodge, Production Manager 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' said:

"Working with the Council has been a pleasure - we were most impressed with your speedy response!"

Whether you're shooting a fashion shoot, a large film, a low budget feature, a short, a commercial or a major drama series, we'll always do our best to accommodate you.

Our bureaucracy-free approach means we've been able to help productions with notice periods as long as six months or as short as six hours.

In exchange for this level of flexibility, we expect incoming production companies to be fully co-operative and highly courteous to our residents and visitors.  In the first instance, we'll always need:

• A shooting schedule
• Evidence of risk assessment
• A copy of your £10 million Public Liability Insurance

If you have a query about filming in Hastings or surrounding areas, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.

If you require parking permits, please provide us with details of all the vehicles including make, colour and registration number. You should inform us of any special parking needs but be aware that some areas of the town are more difficult to park in than others (for example - there is a weight restriction on the promenade).
