Wentworth Woodhouse is a vast stately home near Sheffield, boasting one of the longest facades in Europe and endless grand rooms. Jaw-dropping in scale, the kind of venue we'd love to film.
We are genuinely drawn to places with this kind of scale and grandeur, where the architecture alone tells a story before a single frame is captured.

A venue of this character is one we would love to bring our cameras to.
