Production & Film Location

Shrewsbury Prison offers the perfect, authentic prison location for filming. Boasting over four acres of space, it features original Victorian prison buildings and cells that spread over four floors, making it the ideal space for companies looking for film production locations.

200 years of history

Our film production location can tell the story of over 200 years of prison and social history. We play host to small scale productions, music videos and educational productions, through to medium scale entertainment and dramas, right up to major Hollywood blockbusters.

Shrewsbury Prison is kept and maintained to a high standard, while many prisons of a similar age show signs of age-related wear and tear. Shrewsbury Prison is one of the best-kept decommissioned prison in the country, which means it is the perfect location for all prison-related productions.
