12 Gorgeous Indoor Photoshoot Locations in Leicester, UK

Leicester is a great place to live and work, and that includes working as a photographer! Proving that’s the case are these 12 gorgeous indoor photoshoot locations in Leicester, which we’ve hand-selected as examples of the city and surrounding region’s finest production spaces. Just read on for our top selections–even if you don’t end up choosing any of the options on this list, they’re a great source of inspiration that’ll help you to plan a successful photoshoot.

1. Bar location in Leicester for production

Billed as a great fit for product and magazine photoshoots, this classic bar is an awesome indoor photoshoot location in Leicester. Conveniently located in the city center, the bar has about 1400 square feet worth of space to explore that’s spread out between two floors, including a kitchen and bar as well as a storage area. The front of the bar also offers quite a bit of natural light through several large windows, which is always a boon to photographers.

2. City centre bar with elegant, classy decor

This indoor photoshoot location in Leicester is another bar, but this one has a completely different feel and aesthetic than the first one on our list. Rather than a moody, more dimly lit space, this is a cocktail bar with pink walls, flamingo decor, and a glamorous yet laid-back and summery vibe.

3. Grade II Listed Georgian hall in Leicestershire

If you’re looking for historic value, you’ve found it with this indoor photoshoot location in Leicester. It’s a Grade II listed Georgian Hall, which despite its grandeur (and eight bedrooms total!) maintains a welcoming feel as a family home. The ballroom and dining room are particularly special attractions of this space. In addition to the hall itself, your rental will also afford you access to a three-bedroom cottage as well as the home’s 30 acres of formal gardens, parkland, and woodland. There’s even a carp pool and a lake on the property.

4. Country house with large modern outdoor pool

In contrast to the array of historic country-based homes on this list, here’s a modern country home with an abundance of space and amenities. Inside the house are a large kitchen, a study, two living rooms, a cinema room, a games room, and five bedrooms. Also on the property is a smaller, one-bedroom countryside retreat situated inside a barn. Plus, if you venture outside, you’ll find two hot tubs and an outdoor swimming pool.

5. Listed 300-year-old barn conversion

We’re big fans of this utterly charming, 300-year-old barn conversion. It also happens to be in a rural conservation village right on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir in Leicestershire – talk about historical authenticity! In particular, we love the fact that the home’s French doors open up directly to the outdoors (and its surrounding lush tree canopy). This means you’ll feel like you’re immersed in nature even when you’re indoors.

6. Spacious photography & video studio in Nottingham

Seeking a classic photography studio rather than a home that’s suitable for photoshoots? Then we’re including this top-notch option known as Logobrand Studio on the list. It’s not right in Leicester, but rather in nearby Nottingham in its Lace Market and Creative Quarter. It’s easy to reach using a variety of transportation options, including road, rail, and public transport.

The second-floor studio combines industrial and contemporary vibes with a Grade II listed building that used to be the city’s first Roman Catholic chapel. This explains the large vaulted windows, which let in plenty of natural light but can be covered with blackout blinds if you’d like to control the lighting for yourself instead.

7. An 18th-century character coach house in Flore

Here’s another one of the gorgeous indoor photoshoot locations in Leicester that helps you travel back in time. This 18th-century character coach house is adorable indoors and out. It boasts high vaulted ceilings, a bright white color scheme, minimal decor, and wood beams. If you’re looking for a vintage space that is more austere than ostentatious, then this may be the perfect spot for your shoot!

8. 1930s house with modern interiors

This four-bedroom house has fully modern interiors designed to emulate Art Deco aesthetics. The space includes an open-plan kitchen, a living room, and a cocktail lounge. Most appealing of all, it has a dining room with bifold doors that open up to a mature private garden with a large patio. As an added bonus, with its solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and ground source heat pump, this is also an eco-friendly space for a photoshoot.

9. 19th-century manor house

This unbelievable 19th-century Grade II listed manor house is 6,000 square feet of stunning beauty. You can truly appreciate its historic features thanks to its recent restoration. Although it’s tough to summarize everything the house has to offer, we definitely have to mention its three formal reception rooms. There’s also a large galleried hallway, cinema room, and ornate plasterwork ceilings. We also love the Versailles parquet, travertine marble flooring, painted ceilings, first-floor decked terrace overlooking the surrounding area, and its 1.5 acres of terraced formal gardens.

10. Elegant farmhouse in Stamford with private gardens

Taking a look at the photos of this space in the listing. It’s no wonder that so many Georgian-era buildings in this area have been used as the backdrop for famous TV shows (The Crown and Middlemarch being two of the most well-known). This farmhouse embodies late 18th-century architecture with original features like high ceilings, massive sash windows, and seven bedrooms.

11. Old / modern mix woodland retreat

This list includes plenty of historic spaces as well as some modern ones. However, this house is a mix of both, with two distinct styles on its four facades. The double-height atrium casts light on the living room’s sunken seating area and provides an impeccable view of the lush surrounding gardens and grounds, which have everything from a vegetable garden to an orchard and a wood-fired hot tub and sauna.

12. Production space in Banbury

Seeking a moodier photoshoot location with unique decor? If so, we recommend this authentic 750-square-foot bar for your next photoshoot, which is decked out with warm lighting and dark red and blue walls. We especially love the brightly lit cursive “Ciao, Bella!” sign. However, there are a variety of corners throughout this space that would function as excellent backdrops.
