Explore our library Press filming and photography guidelines We will handle non-commercial filming and photography free of charge or part-charged if we think it will benefit Kew Gardens (by publicising our scientific work, festival or status as a visitor attraction). Any charge would depend on the nature and duration of your filming in the Gardens. These guidelines outline the service we provide and what is required of you. Making a filming/photography request Submit a detailed itinerary to the Press Office including locations, plants, interviews and accurate timings and email to pr@kew.org Filming/photography is not permitted at weekends or after the Gardens/Glasshouses close (these timings vary seasonally). Filming can also be arranged through our commercial filming department who charge their time by the hour and can offer more flexibility. Call 020 8332 3676 or email commercialmedia@kew.org. Pre-filming preparation Recce: we require the crew/photographer to carry out a recce with a member of Kew staff. Location release: we will sign this at the recce stage Insurance agreement: supply this at the recce stage Personal/parental release forms: it is the responsibility of the crew/photographer to gain signed consent where necessary before filming. Requirements on day of filming/photography Kew staff accompany the crew/photographer at all times, your filming is dependent on staff being available. We ask that you do not interact with the public. It is essential that you consult us if you intend to interact with the public and, if we agree, that you gain personal/parental permission.
