Filming in Northern Ireland

Film & Television Studios


Northern Ireland has seen significant growth in studio space in recent years offering a mixture of purpose built studios and alternative build space for productions of varying sizes.

BELFAST HARBOUR STUDIOS 

Belfast Harbour Studios, an 8 acre site located within the 340 acre Giants Park, are the newest purpose built studios in Belfast just a few minutes’ drive from the city centre and George Best Belfast City Airport.

  • The new studios incorporate high performance acoustic fabric, high-level walkways and rigging gantries with power, lighting and internal environment options to suit the full spectrum of film production uses.
  • Two new identical purpose-built sound stages, each 32,000 sq ft, capable of opening up for a combined use as one large space of 64,000 sq ft.  Eaves height of approximately 61 ft.

THE PAINT HALL

  • Contains 4 x 16,000ft² “cells”, which are set out in a square connected by an internal road and streets.
  • Each cell measures 90ft high and has one 3ft thick external “wall” that is actually a 75ft high door.
  • None of the cell ceilings is external and the building is “double-skinned” thereby reducing noise pollution.
