Filming in Carmarthenshire
Carmarthenshire is already proving itself to be a desirable and cost-effective destination for advertising campaigns for TV, digital and print with a notable USP being created in the car and motorbike industries for both national and international productions – in particular the 8-mile beaches and long roads through the western Brecon Beacons and Cambrian mountains. And the county is enjoying a growing reputation as a filming location for major television dramas and movies, with several award-winning productions finding their home in Carmarthenshire.
We are widely known as one of the most welcoming, engaging and memorable locations in Wales. A destination with a wealth of experiences - warm and vibrant market towns, modern retail centres, clean beaches, rolling countryside and dramatic landscapes.
Why choose Carmarthenshire...
The third-largest county in Wales covering some 2,371 square kilometres - 11% of the total landmass of Wales. Located on the M4 corridor within easy reach of Cardiff, London and all parts of the UK and Ireland. It offers everything you would expect at a fraction of the cost.
We are one of the top tourism destinations not just in Wales but the UK.
A number of media production companies, including Tinopolis, already call Carmarthenshire home. Our status in the creative industries sector has been strengthened by S4C’s decision to relocate to Carmarthen at Canolfan S4C Yr Egin.

We fully understand the pressures and requirements of each production, and are committed to the belief that the best way to enable filming is to ensure it does not place unreasonable demands on the locale in which it happens.

Our services include:
- Sounding board for initial enquiries, providing information about local conditions and logistics
- Liaison with local supply chain, other public authorities, and the County Safety Advisory Group

- Traffic management and parking
- Community engagement
- Assistance in arranging accommodation and hospitality
