Filming

Over the years, The Ragley Estate has played location to a variety of filming projects. Recently, Ragley became the setting for the new series of Netflix drama, The Crown, in which the first episode of season four began with Ragley’s Great Hall as the backdrop for the first encounter between Charles and Diana. The Hall can also be seen again, in episode 3 of the series, in which Ragley’s Vaulted Hallway received a dramatic makeover, transforming the space in to the environment of a Buckingham Palace Kitchen.

With a wide array of State Rooms, each one vividly distinct, Ragley can offer a huge variety of settings for a film or television project. From the eccentrically illustrated South Staircase mural depicting images of tropical foliage, exotic animals and even a U.F.O to the bright yellow State Dining Room painted to mirror the late Lord Hertford’s favourite jumper colour, there are settings both typical of stately homes but also some unique and unexpected sceneries.

Ragley Hall sits within a 5,600 acre estate boasting a wide range of settings from parkland and farmland to scenic lakeside backdrops and woodlands.
