Bray Film Studios

Bray – located between Windsor and Maidenhead – is the home of the iconic Bray Film Studios, made famous in the 1950s and 1960s by the Hammer House of Horror Productions including Dracula. In 1979 it was where Alien was made.  In November 2021, planning permission was granted for a major expansion of Bray Film Studios to ensure it is well placed to attract more high-profile film and TV productions.  Read more here.
