Boston, our historic port and market town is a perfect location for filming. We are proud to be part of filming’s history offering locations from “One of our Aircraft is Missing” (1942), to Wild Bill (2019). We have a wealth of history to draw on and can offer both period and current locations.
The town centre itself centres around a historic marketplace, hosting markets and fairs for the past 900 years. Surrounding the marketplace is a network of charming cobbled lanes. The architecture reflects the towns development and includes Medieval, Georgian, Victorian and 20th Century gems. This includes Boston Guildhall, a 14th Century brick building, that is one of the most important medieval buildings in the area; Fydell House, a picture perfect 18th Century Queen Anne House; Blackfriars Theatre & Arts Centre based in ‘The Dominican Friary’, Built in 1222 by the Dominicans or Black Friars and the awe inspiring St Botolph’s Church (known affectionately as “The Stump”) which dates from 1309. It is one of the largest parish churches in England and its tower, one of the highest of any in the country, is 272ft tall (82.9m).
We also have beautiful landscape to draw on. Boston is in the heart of the South Lincolnshire Fens, located along the river Witham, next to the North Sea at the Wash, a haven for wildlife and provides a rich agricultural landscape that helps provide food for the Nation.
