Photography and Filming

The National Tramway Museum and Tramway Museum Society has no objection to the taking of photographs and video for private use. However, a lot of time and money is spent restoring and running our trams and improving the facilities, so we do not believe it is fair that others should profit from this.

As a result, the taking of photographs, video, film at the NTM for any form of commercial venture is prohibited without prior approval.

We always appreciate being sent professional shots/good images of the museum site for us to use across social media. Please email marketing@tramway.co.uk if you have some to send over.

We welcome enquiries from film companies or agencies about the use of National Tramway Museum for location filming or photography shoots or charters.

Please note, the flying of drones without permission is strictly forbidden due to health and safety. Please see the The Drone Code.

Please email enquiry@tramway.co.uk for further information.
