    A Blockbuster Castle

    Be Spellbound
    Wannabe wizards and witches have the chance to step into the magical world of Harry Potter at Alnwick Castle, one of the spectacular filming locations for the first two Harry Potter movies. Take a broomstick lesson in the very spot where Harry, Ron and Hermione learned to fly!
  3. A family getting on a tram at Beamish
    Step Back in Time
    A visit to Beamish Museum is like stepping onto the set of a period drama. Featured in the much-loved Downton Abbey movie and TV series Christmas special, take a vintage bus ride back in time to the 1900s town and follow in the footsteps of your favourite characters.
  4. A hand holding a photo of the scene from The Avengers film against a corridor in Durham Cathedral
    Marvel-ous Durham Cathedral
    Durham Cathedral was a filming location for not one, but two major movie franchises – Harry Potter and Marvel’s Avengers. Doubling as Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films, the Cathedral was also featured in Avengers: Endgame, when Thor travels back in time and visits Asgard.
  5. People looking over a bridge in Newcastle
    A Crime Not to Visit
    After the much-loved crime drama came to an end earlier this year, get your Vera fix and explore some of the locations shown in this popular series – from Newcastle’s famous seven bridges and Northumberland’s characterful towns, to the dramatic Durham Coast.
  6. People walking in a city
    A City Transformed
    Newcastle City centre was quite literally ‘transformed’ as one of the filming locations for Transformers: The Last Knight. Grey Street and Grainger Town, the historic heart of the city, can be seen in a high speed car chase in the action packed movie.
