Heart of England Events and Conferencing The Heart of England: A Hidden Gem for TV & Film Location Work

When it comes to finding the perfect filming location, versatility is everything — and few places offer more variety than The Heart of England Conference and Events Centre, nestled in 160 acres of stunning Warwickshire countryside. With a rich history of hosting television productions, commercial shoots, and even blockbuster feature films, this unique venue is fast becoming a favourite among location scouts and production companies alike.

From the moment you arrive, it’s easy to see why The Heart of England is in demand. The site combines expansive open spaces, woodland areas, picturesque lakes, historic buildings, and modern facilities — all within a single, accessible location. Whether you’re producing a gritty drama, a light-hearted family feature, or a high-end brand campaign, this location offers the flexibility to bring your creative vision to life.

The venue’s reputation as a filming hotspot is already well established. Over the years, The Heart of England has welcomed a diverse mix of projects, from popular TV shows to big-screen productions. The Gadget Show, Jacamo Clothing, and the 2018 family film ‘Nativity Rocks’ have all used the site for filming, making the most of its varied settings.

More recently, the venue’s elegant Heart House — a charming 16th-century guesthouse that sits within the grounds — played a starring role in an ad campaign for Coventry Building Society. Previously known as Old Hall House, this characterful property offers a backdrop of historic charm, ideal for period dramas, commercials, or documentary work.

The Heart of England has also featured on well-known TV programmes including Channel 4’s Four in a Bed, which spotlighted their guest accommodation, and, most recently, the ever-popular Hotel Inspector. In June, presenter Alex Polizzi and her team spent time on site, offering their expert advice.

The result? A new name for the guest house and a series of exciting renovations — proof that the venue isn’t afraid to evolve while retaining its character.

In the same month, the team also welcomed Ricochet Productions, who filmed for the Discovery Channel during a major event that saw over 1,000 guests and a dazzling display of classic cars across the grounds. With so much space and diversity on offer, the site handled the scale and complexity of the event with ease — yet another reason why it’s an ideal location for large-scale filming projects.

Air dates for both the Hotel Inspector and Discovery Channel features are expected soon, so watch this space for The Heart of England’s next TV appearance.
