Howell’s as a Filming Location
Cardiff, renowned for landmark shows like His Dark Materials and Sex Education, has seen high demand for Howell’s Victorian Gothic architecture and its stunning facilities such as the wood-paneled Great Hall and the Edwardian charm of Hazelwood, Oaklands, and Bryn-Taf. In 2021, Howell’s hosted filming for dramas by Netflix, S4C, and Sky, welcoming further inquiries.
