£12m expansion at Bristol-based studios

Work is under way on a £12m expansion of Bristol TV and film studios The Bottle Yard.

Three new stages will be added to the existing eight studios in works due to be completed in summer.

A further £1.6m, received from Bristol City Council, will ensure The Bottle Yard’s current facilities are sufficient to meet its 10-year business plan.

Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees says the investment will create jobs, skills and training opportunities.

“It will be a major boost to our wider regeneration plans for South Bristol, bringing growth and opportunity to the area”.
