When it comes to costume dramas, Britain often steals the show. But the country is not all about grand manor houses, cosy cottages and windswept moors. In 2026, a new wave of film and TV productions invite audiences to see historic Britain through a fresh lens

From romantic castles to cobbled villages, Britain has long been a leading star of the silver screen. This Christmas, visitors can step beyond the credits and into the very landscapes where epic dramas come to life.

Britain steps into 2026 with fresh energy, bringing its stories to life in exciting new ways. History meets high-tech, castles get digital makeovers, coastlines become epic trails, and film and TV shows put the nations and regions centre stage.
