Film Location Tours at The Historic Dockyard Chatham

The Historic Dockyard Chatham, Main Gate Road, Chatham, ME4 4TZ

7th August - 26th September

Think you know The Historic Dockyard Chatham? Think again. The Film Location Walking Tour lifts the lid on the secrets of the screen.

This tour offers a rare opportunity to find out how a world-famous pop star could have caused a riot, or
how a Hollywood A-lister was thoroughly told off for a cheeky cigarette.

Visitors will venture into areas usually closed to the public and gain insider knowledge from the Dockyard
crew who worked directly on set with major productions. These expert guides deliver an exclusive, behindthe-
scenes look at the historic buildings and surrounding spaces transformed into iconic cinematic
backdrops.

Whether for dedicated film buffs, TV drama lovers, or anyone curious about screen magic, this is a unique
chance to explore one of Britain’s most famous filming locations.

Tour Highlights:
– Expert Insights: Guided by knowledgeable staff with direct film location experience.
– Famous Backdrops: See where hit productions like Bridgerton, Les Misérables, and Loki brought the
Dockyard to life.
– Behind the Scenes: Learn the unique challenges of filming in restricted spaces and how special effects
transform real-world locations.
– Historic Sets: Walk the iconic cobbled streets and grand terraces that frequently double as Victorian
London.
