Film set diversification: Chavenage House, Gloucestershire

This week we are joined by CLA member Caroline Lowsley-Williams who has diversified her beautiful family home and country estate, Chavenage House, into a location for TV and film productions including the BBC1 series Poldark and The Pale Horse. 

 

Caroline shares with us how they started out as a film location, new business ventures filming has brought with it to the house and estate, and how to tap into the new trend of teletourism. 

 

We are also joined by Thomas Mason, CLA Rural Surveyor, who explains the importance of securing alternative income streams and the practicalities to consider when venturing into this industry.
