Events to Watch Out For

PLANNING to film in the Northwest over the next few months? Then our Events Calendar is a must-see guide to what’s happening around the region, so you can plan your filming accordingly.

After all, having 25,000 participants taking part in the Great Manchester Run is sure to affect any city centre filming schedules you had pencilled in for mid-May. And if you were thinking of filming in The Lakes during the summer, book early. That’s when hundreds of thousands of tourists descend on Cumbria and hotel rooms can become a bit scarce.

Of course, it may well suit your filming requirements to have a backdrop of 250,000 people watching a world-famous street festival – so you’ll need to know when Manchester Pride will be held. Or maybe you’d like to add some football footage to your shoot – so you’ll need to know if Liverpool are playing a big match.

If flowers are your filming thing, then knowing when the RHS will be staging its annual Cheshire Flower Show could be helpful, and when the Taste Lancashire Food and Drink hits town it certainly stops the traffic – so that could prove to be essential information.

Whatever your filming requirements, our Events Calendar will help to keep you in the know. Updated regularly, as soon as we find out about events taking place across the Northwest – we promise, you’ll be the first to hear about it!
