The Bottle Yard Studios is the largest film and TV facility in the West of England, with shows such as The Outlaws, Sherlock and Poldark filmed there.
The site is considered a key facility for national productions with a global reach.
In 2024-25, filming at the Bottle Yard Studio and on location in the city was worth more than £46m to Bristol’s economy, according to Bristol Film Office.
Tony Dyer, the leader of Bristol City Council and chair of its strategy and resources committee, said the authority wanted to ensure the studios had a bright future.
“One of the reasons why we entered into this process is because we don’t want to hold the Bottle Yard Studios back from doing what it does so well because we’re not able to invest ourselves,” he said.
“We want to make sure what we provide is good for the studios and it’s good for the city and the region.”
