Bristol’s Bottle Yard Studios has announced it will open its new wing – TBY2 – this autumn.

TBY2 is Bottle Yard’s second facility and provides three sound stages, which are available for advance booking from September 2022.

The facility is located half from the main Bottle Yard site in South Bristol and its stages offer 20,000 sq ft, 16,500 sq ft and 7,000 sq ft of clear span build space with maximum heights of 34ft.

More than 40,000 sq ft of ancillary space is also available, including serviced production offices, prop stores, construction workshops, costume/makeup and break out areas.

The TBY2 site is supported with up to 10GB secure connectivity and 24/7 site security.

A building management system has been installed to optimise energy conservation, with built-in heating, cooling and ventilation in all stages. Transport between the main Bottle Yard Studios site and the TBY2 facility will be carbon neutral, with electric vehicle (EV) points and cycling provision supporting low carbon movement.

The three new stages increase the number of stages at The Bottle Yard Studios to 11.

The facility has cost £12m to develop.

Titles recently filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios include STARZ Original Series Becoming Elizabeth (premiering Sunday 12th June), Stephen Merchant’s BBC/Amazon series The Outlaws (series two airing now), Netflix sci fi family series The Last Bus and BBC dramas Chloe, Showtrial and The Girl Before.

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • It has been a wonderful two days at MPTS. It was well attended with technology everywhere. The show was full of people from the industry, new to the industry, collaborating, networking and generally having a good time.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
