Filming at Carlton Towers
Carlton Towers provides the perfect backdrop for period dramas and films. The building dates back to Jacobean times; the three-storeyed west wing was the original Carlton Hall in 1614 (in which lies an old chapel, numerous living quarters and five bedrooms with many large windows and original features). The long wing to the east of the main house was built 1777 and was Victorianised and gothicised in the mid 1870s. The wing boasts wonderful architecture and design and is made up of 150ft of successive chandeliered State Rooms including a beautiful Venetian Drawing Room - one of the most complete Victorian interiors in existence.
The general inside of Carlton Towers is spectacular and maintains original features, intricate design and exquisite colours to rival any royal building. Both the property and parkland are available for filming all year round.
Carlton Towers has been used for numerous filming projects over the years:
- ‘Like Minds’ 2006, produced by the South Australian Film Cooperation, starring Toni Collette.
- ‘Micawber’ 2001, starring David Jason
- ‘The Darling Buds of May’ 1994 (Carlton Towers appeared as Chateau Brest in one of the episodes where the family was holidaying in France).
-
A Handful of Dust 1987
The inside of the venue has also been used for the setting for music videos and various Bollywood films.
