Titanic Studios Belfast
Belfast · BT3
Summary
The largest film production studio in the UK by stage floor area, built on the former Harland and Wolff shipyard site in Belfast, most famous as the primary studio for Game of Thrones and now used for How to Train Your Dragon and other major productions.
About this location
Titanic Studios occupies a complex of former paint halls on the Harland and Wolff shipyard site in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, close to the SS Nomadic and the Titanic Belfast visitor attraction. The studio complex includes Paint Hall 1, which at approximately 26,000 square feet of column-free floor space is among the largest single-stage spaces in the UK. HBO’s Game of Thrones used Titanic Studios as its primary production base across all eight series, and the studios were subsequently used by multiple Netflix, Amazon, and major studio productions. How to Train Your Dragon’s live-action adaptation (DreamWorks/Universal) was filming at the studios in 2025 according to Reddit discussions from Northern Ireland residents. The studios operate under a production services model — not available for day hire by small productions — but their presence anchors a substantial wider crew base across Northern Ireland. Surrounding the studios is the Titanic Quarter’s converted industrial architecture, which provides additional location coverage in the same area.
