Who issues permits

Sheffield’s filming team within city operations handles permit applications. Screen Yorkshire provides regional support for larger productions spanning South Yorkshire.

Process

Contact Sheffield’s filming service. Standard five working days for straightforward permits. Road closures in the city centre require three to four weeks and a Traffic Management Plan submission.

What’s covered

City centre streets, the Peace Gardens and Millennium Gallery public area, council parks including Endcliffe Park and Meersbrook Park, civic buildings including Sheffield Town Hall, and the Don Valley area.
