Rushmere Country Park

Filming

Rushmere Country Park is proud to be the home of Sky 1's popular game show Wild Things, which ran for three series up to 2017. Red Bull has used our Xtreme Cycling Trail to produce a promotional video for mountain biking and our woodland has provided the backdrop for many photo shoots. More recently the park was used to film a scene in BBC drama Mother, Father, Son featuring actress Helen McCrory.

As a result we have a lot of experience of hosting commercial activities for filming in the park - all proceeds support the maintenance and running of the park.

Commercial companies wanting to use the park for filming purposes require a permit.
