Photoshoots at Anthology Farm
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds, UK
As diverse as it is extensive, the 500 acres that comprise Anthology Farm offer an inspiring location in the heart of The Cotswolds. Inside, the immaculately designed interiors and a heated swimming pool will be a stylists dream, while outside, with hay bales, tractors and patchwork fields galore, there are ample spaces for brand shoots, product launches and filming.
Overview
Exposed stone walls, timber beams and enormous clawfoot bath tubs are just the beginnings of this shoot location near Cheltenham, where sheer elegance and a sprawling working farm meet in wondrous harmony. Outside, directors and photographers have 500 acres to play with, where the patchwork fields change in colour with the seasons across rolling hills, while the farmyard adds an industrial edge to an otherwise gentle setting. A collection of outhouses and their rustic wooden doors create backdrops for models, while inside, plush sofas and draping fabrics offer a softer alternative. Accommodation is available for crew, photographers and models; view our Anthology Farm property page for further images and details.
Spaces
Within the farm’s 500 acres are numerous outhouses, a farmyard and its vehicles, tennis court, indoor swimming pool and plenty of ancient trees for photographers to work with. For creatives looking for something a little more on the wild side, there are overgrown woodlands and paths aplenty, which would be well suited to whimsical fashion and wedding shoots. Rooms inside the property are gabled with lead-paned windows looking out across Cotswold farmland while tapestries and large pieces of abstract art can be found throughout. The space can be hired as seen, but due to the nature of a working farm, some spaces and equipment are only available at specific times of year.
