Few towns in Kent give you a backdrop like Rochester. There’s the Norman keep and its gardens, the cathedral precinct, the Georgian and Tudor frontages along the High Street, the riverside walk looking across to Strood, and Rochester Bridge itself. The city has been used for film and television before, and it photographs beautifully for businesses too.
Our crew drives over from Maidstone to film here, whether that’s a quiet early-morning shoot before the shops open or a full day covering a festival. We can produce:
Rochester’s character is a gift for video, but it also needs planning. The High Street is busy on weekends and festival days, the light changes quickly around the castle and river, and some heritage locations have their own rules about filming. We handle that groundwork for you. We’ll suggest locations, plan timings to avoid crowds or make the most of them, and check what permissions are needed. On the day our crew arrives with everything required, works quietly around your customers and gets the shots efficiently. After the shoot we go through the edit with you, at our Maidstone office, at your premises or on a call, until it’s exactly right.

Video production in Rochester: frequently asked questions
Can you film at our shop or venue in Rochester?
Yes. We come to you with all the kit needed and work around your opening hours, so filming disturbs customers as little as possible.
Can we film near the castle or cathedral?
Often, yes. Public areas are usually straightforward, while the castle, cathedral and other venues have their own arrangements. We'll check what's needed and plan around it.
Can you cover our stand or activity during a festival?
We can. Festival weekends are busy, so we plan positions and timings in advance and turn around highlight clips quickly for your socials.
Do you also do photography on the same day?
We can capture stills alongside video. That's useful if you also need images for a new website or printed material.
How do we give feedback on the edit?
However you prefer. We're happy to sit down and watch it together at our Maidstone office or yours, or we can send the cut over and talk it through on a call.
