Making your experience of filming in Thanet a good one
We hope that within these pages you will find your ideal location and information on how we can help.
Thanet has so much to offer in a variety of locations. The area is surrounded on three sides by 19 miles of coastline, with many sandy beaches, all of which have a unique character and different geological features.
To give you an idea of the variety of locations that Thanet can offer, we commissioned a film, starting at Ramsgate’s Royal Harbour and following the coast round to Minnis Bay in Birchington-on-Sea.
