Dr Victoria Thomson ( Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust Member ) is giving a talk “Gardens on Film – the most filmed county in England.” On Wednesday 4th June 6-7.30
Historic parks and gardens play a frequent – and frequently tantalising – role in films and on TV. Where is the 18th century landscape that forms the background to scenes in Bridgerton? Which English country estate serves as Paris for both James Bond and Sherlock Holmes? Is that really a world heritage site being flooded for a scene in The Secret Garden?
Join us behind-the-scenes at some of the locations used in costume dramas, children’s adventures, murder mysteries and much else. We’ll hear from a location manager on choosing the right gardens for shoots and from a garden historian on films in her own county, as well as the experience of three major players who regularly manage film crews in their historic landscapes – the National Trust, the Royal Parks and English Heritage.
