ARIA Film Studios offers two world-class, fully serviced acoustic stages in the heart of North Wales, providing international productions with a rare combination of professional studio infrastructure and immediate access to a wide range of locations, from areas of outstanding natural beauty and UNESCO World Heritage sites to characterful towns and contemporary urban environments.

Located less than two hours from Liverpool and Manchester International Airports, and approximately 3.5 hours from London, ARIA provides straightforward access for cast, crew and equipment while offering a distinctive visual landscape rarely available so close to major UK production hubs. The surrounding region features dramatic mountains, coastline, castles, slate mines, forests, rural settings, and a variety of urban towns and cities, all within minutes of the stages.

ARIA Film Studios has established itself as an emerging destination for international film and television production, hosting major studio-backed projects from leading global producers. Recent productions have included Anemone, produced by Focus Features, NBCUniversal and Plan B, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, alongside further international feature productions featuring Academy Award-winning talent, including Sir Anthony Hopkins. These productions reflect the growing reputation of ARIA Film Studios as a flexible, high-quality production base capable of supporting world-class filmmaking in North Wales.

What our partners say

Working with the team at Aria was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Led by Iddon Jones, the team provided unwavering support and handled every demand of our shoot with total professionalism. The facility itself is modern and highly accessible, but what truly stood out was their 'can-do’ attitude - nothing was a problem, and every request was executed with impressive efficiency. It was a seamless, first-class experience that I will definitely be returning to for future projects.

ARIA offered the perfect combination of technical excellence along with access to the breathtaking landscapes of North Wales, which became an integral part of the film’s atmosphere and emotional depth. It’s a world-class facility for filmmaking and I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Jeremy CampbellCo-Producer, Anemone

Aria Film Studios proved to be the ideal location and production base for us. It is the only purpose-built filming space in the region that would have been able to accommodate our large two-story set and production hub. Aria’s location meant that our production benefited from a wealth of location options nearby, from scenic beaches and mountains to urban and industrial settings. We were able to fully tailor the facility to our needs and had ample space for all units.
