What's onVisiting York Minster.
VisitYork Minster is one of the world’s most magnificent cathedrals, with a history dating back around 2,000 years. Its architecture, religious significance and stories area a magnet for commercial photographers, TV and film companies and for PR companies.
Unless you are filming for a TV news programme or documentary, we charge for all commercial filming and photography within the Minster Precinct. Our charges are based on the impact of filming in the locations, including on worship, our visitors, our neighbours (such as businesses and residents) and our staff and volunteers.
Filming
York Minster and its precinct has been used for a number of recent film and TV dramas including Netflix, BBC’s Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and ITV’s Victoria. As well as the Minster building, we also consider requests for The Old Palace, Dean’s Park, St William’s College and the environs surround the Minster such as The South Piazza.

Filming
We are currently reviewing our drone policy. Please contact the Communications Team for further details.
If you require drone footage of the cathedral for your project, we may be able to provide material from our footage pool. Please contact the Communications Team for further details.
Filming
We receive a large number of requests each year from student photographers and film-makers who wish to film or photograph York Minster for their coursework and academic projects. Each request is considered on a case by case basis and the outcome often depends on our staff’s availability to support and supervise students.
Commercial photography (including wedding photography), inside York Minster or Dean’s Park can only take place with the express written permission of the Chapter of York and on completion of the relevant licensing and copyright agreements. Unless your marriage or blessing ceremony has taken place at York Minster it is unlikely the cathedral will be able to accommodate wedding photographs.
