Much-loved adaptation of the Enid Blyton’s classic starring Ella Wright, April V. Woods and friends. Studio production moved to The Bottle Yard in 2023 for Series 5, marking the first time the popular children’s drama had based at a UK studio (past series had filmed at a Canadian facility).

The final three series of Malory Towers were filmed at The Bottle Yard. 11 sets were built in the Studio for boarding school settings including dormitory, classrooms and common areas. Basing in Bristol gave the team convenient access to regular Devon and Cornwall locations including Hartland Abbey near Bideford, used for the school’s exterior. The seventh and final series was released in 2025.
