The museum receives many requests from broadcasters and TV production companies wanting to film the museum, or objects within it, every week. We look at each of these requests on a case-by-case basis.

All filming requests need to give clear deadlines, and details on how they will be mentioning the museum in the footage or programme.

Please email press@scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk or call 0161 696 7785 or 0161 606 0160 to make an enquiry.
