Filming in Carmarthenshire
Carmarthenshire has proven itself to be a desirable and cost effective destination for many TV, digital and print advertising campaigns.
The car and motorbike industries in particular have experienced the county’s fantastic landscape - our sweeping beaches and long country roads through the western Brecon Beacons and Cambrian mountains - which have provided the perfect backdrop for several national and international productions. 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 - a rich calendar of events and festivals, 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, the University’s new creative and digital centre.
How we can help...
We are one of the largest public sector organisations in Wales. As well as being the statutory body for highways, parking and licensing, we manage a diverse portfolio of facilities – from lighthouses to Victorian police cells, housing estates to castles.
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. Key to this is adequate planning, preparation and effective consultation - we need a minimum of 10 working days notice for all requests to film in Carmarthenshire.
Our services include:
- Sounding board for initial enquiries, providing information about local conditions and logistics
- Contacts to the local and national screen/film sector and other public authorities
- Assist in securing permission to film
- Traffic management and parking
- Community engagement
- Assistance in arranging accommodation and hospitality
If you've got any questions about filming in Carmarthenshire, e-mail pressoffice@carmarthenshire.gov.uk. If you're ready to make an application we need to know where and when you will be filming, size of the crew, information on drones / specialist equipment, any parking requirements or additional services that you may require such as hospitality, community engagement etc.
