Best Filming Locations in Sheffield for Promo Videos

 

Sheffield is full of incredible spots to film or photograph, and as a video production company with a decade of experience, we’ve scouted the very best locations for shoots that scream “this is Sheffield!”

Whether you’re shooting a promo, corporate video or short film, these spots will make locals stop and say, “that’s Sheffield, innit?”

Park Hill Flats

Arguably Sheffield’s most iconic landmark, Park Hill Flats is impossible to miss when arriving at the train station. Its bold, bright colour scheme and dramatic slopes make it perfect for creative, eye-catching shots.

Built between 1957 and 1961, Park Hill reflects both the city’s history and its ongoing transformation. Its scale and urban aesthetic have made it a popular filming spot for productions like Doctor Who, How to Talk to Girls at Parties and The Full Monty.

OHP practical tip: The flats are just a stone’s throw from the city centre, offering multiple angles and perspectives to show off Sheffield’s unusual architecture.

We’ve used Park Hill for numerous shoots, including a recent project with 1625 Outreach, to highlight the contrast of brutalist architecture with Sheffield’s creative energy.

Why not take a look at our portfolio?

Kelham Island & Kelham Island Museum

For gritty, urban, industrial charm, Kelham Island is a must visit, not only for video shooting but also if you’re just a tourist visiting the city for the day.

Cobbled streets, old warehouses, graffiti walls and riverside sections (you name it, Kelham Island has it) create endless opportunities for cinematic shots. Inside, the Kelham Island Museum – originally an iron foundry from the 1890s – features a Bessemer converter and a quaint “little mesters” street set, providing historical authenticity for your shoot.

This location is a perfect mix of rustic, derelict and modern spaces, ideal for creative promos, music videos or documentary-style shoots. Anything really!

Sheffield Amphitheatre

If panoramic city views are what you need, the Sheffield Amphitheatre delivers (and then some). A short walk from both the train station and Park Hill Flats, it offers wide-angle shots that capture Sheffield’s skyline, modern architecture and the stunning surrounding hills.

It’s perfect for time-lapses of sunrise or sunset, establishing shots, or outdoor interviews. The location has also been used in The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold, proving its cinematic appeal.

In the spring, this outdoor space transforms thanks to being one of South Yorkshire’s hotspots for cherry blossom. The delicate pink and white blooms create a stunning, almost ethereal backdrop that’s perfect for cinematic shots, promo videos or even social media content.

Combine this seasonal colour with the sweeping views of good old Sheff, and you have a unique contrast of nature and urban landscape that really makes your footage stand out from the crowd.

The Botanical Gardens

Looking for greenery and symmetry? Sheffield’s Botanical Gardens, established in 1836, provide a stunning natural backdrop. Glass pavilions near the entrance add historical charm, while well-maintained lawns, trees and seasonal colours make it versatile for all types of shoots.

Whether it’s interviews, cinematic sequences or aesthetic promo content, the gardens offer a location that feels both grand and welcoming. HBO’s The Regime even used it for one of their episodes, showing its appeal for high-profile productions. Crazy right?

Other Hidden Gems

This list only scratches the surface. Over the years, we’ve discovered secret spots for edgy music videos, creative shorts and sharp corporate interviews.

Spacious venues, unique urban corners, and sophisticated boardrooms – Sheffield has them all. Want us to share more? Let us know in the comments, and we might release a follow-up blog with our full insider list.

Product Video Production FAQ

What is a product video?

A product video is a type of short form content that showcases all the different areas of your product. It allows your audience to get a full picture of what you’re selling and why it’s worth them making a purchase. The beauty of a product video is you can make a variety of different types that best suit what you’re selling.

 

Product videos can suit a wide range of budgets. If you’re after something cost effective that shows off your product in a studio or if you want to get actors and locations involved, there’s options for everyone. If you have an idea or examples of product videos you like the look of, then that’s a great starting point. With all of our product clients our focus is on the best results from the budget you have.

This depends on the type of product video you’re looking for. Something more simple like a studio setup can take a lot less time as it’s a simple type of video to make. If you’re wanting to shoot at a location, for example a living room or kitchen, with actors then this can take longer to prepare and longer to edit. That being said most product videos tend to be completed anywhere from a couple of weeks up to 1-2 months.

Firstly, having a finished product and a general idea of what type of video you’d like to create is a great starting point. We’d then have a meeting to discuss the exact requirements with a few straightforward questions so we can give you the most cost effective quote possible.
