The Manor

The grandeur of this French renaissance-style chateau in the heart of Buckinghamshire makes for a truly inspirational setting for all types of filming projects. It was first used as a location in 1967, when Waddesdon’s facade was transformed into ‘Château Neuf ‘for Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head. Since then the Manor has provided the backdrop for a variety of productions working with major studios. Locations include – Opulent dining rooms, galleries, grand staircases as well as basements and behind the scenes areas. Complimenting the Manor are the manicured lawns and planted formal gardens, parkland, private roads and woodland areas.

Made up of 3 impressive rooms, a terrace overlooking the lake and a courtyard. The West Hall is an impressive room with vaulted ceilings and two huge open fireplaces. The Wintergarden, a classical room made predominantly of glass with exterior wooden slatted blinds and the South Hall which is full of art and contemporary styling.
