Margate looks great on camera, and most people already know it. The wide stretch of Main Sands, the lighthouse at the end of the Harbour Arm, the seafront gallery building of Turner Contemporary, the rides at Dreamland and the narrow streets of the Old Town all give a video an instant sense of place. Inside, the town’s bars, studios and shops tend to have strong interiors that do half the work for you.
We bring our crew and kit from Maidstone to film in Margate, from single-location interviews to multi-day shoots and live events. We handle the planning, the filming and the edit. The kinds of video we produce:
A Margate shoot needs a bit of local planning. Seafront locations get busy on sunny weekends, light changes quickly over the water, and some of the best spots are on private property or inside other businesses. We work this out in advance, scheduling outdoor shots early or late, getting permission where needed and keeping a backup indoor plan for wet days. Then our crew comes over from Maidstone, sets up quietly and works around your customers and staff. We’re happy to plan the shoot with you in person beforehand and go through the edit together.

Video production in Margate: frequently asked questions
Will you travel to Margate for a shoot?
Yes. Our crew comes to Margate for every shoot, bringing cameras, lighting and sound equipment, so all you need is the location and the people.
Can you film on the beach or the Harbour Arm?
Often, yes. Small crews filming in public spaces usually need no formal permission, but we'll check with the council or landowner when a shoot is larger or needs equipment set up.
Can you cover an event at our venue in the evening?
Yes. We regularly film evening events and gigs, and can turn around a short highlights clip quickly for your socials.
What if it rains on shoot day?
We plan a wet-weather alternative, usually indoor scenes, and can move outdoor shots to another date if they're essential.
Can you make vertical videos for Instagram and TikTok?
Yes. We plan vertical framing on the day so the social versions look intentional rather than cropped.
