PR and Media Room

We're here to help

We endeavour to assist as many press visits as we can who are looking to promote Dorset to a wide and varied audience. Some of the help we provide includes; advice and information, itinerary planning, connections with partners and local businesses, facts and figures, discretionary media rates, and images and footage of Dorset.

We are always happy to help when possible, so please get in touch, giving as much notice as you can, so that we can provide you with tailored support and guidance for your enquiry.

If you are a writer, journalist or blogger, please give us as much detail as you can, including your editorial brief, circulation, social media reach, date of visit and information about what type of assistance you are looking for.

Planning your visit

To be as helpful as possible, we have created suggested itineraries for press visits, as well as factsheets and ideas for written content features.  

We kindly ask you tag our social media accounts and include the hashtag #visitdorset so we can share with our followers.

Film and TV

Dorset has been the star of many famous film and TV productions, including ITV’s multiple BAFTA winning crime drama 'Broadchurch', Christopher Nolan’s 'Dunkirk' and the recent period drama 'On Chesil Beach'.

Film-makers, poets and writers have all been captivated and had their imaginations charged by the outstanding beauty of Dorset’s landscape and coastline and it’s easy to see why.

For filming enquiries please see our A-Z list of locations in Dorset with information about filming permissions, fees and permits. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
