Fans of smash-hit period drama Bridgerton will spot a familiar location when the latest series arrives on our screens later this month.
It has been confirmed the Netflix show filmed at Squerryes Court in Westerham \- with crews from the show at the site for two weeks back in August 2022 to capture the scenes. Previous seasons had shot footage at Chatham’s Historic Dockyard.
The Grade I-listed 17th century manor house was sworn to secrecy about the filming - although the owner’s pet pooch did its level best to get some screen time after dashing across the set.
The gardens were used as the backdrop of a garden party, with rooms inside the building used by the cast as they prepared to shoot the scenes.
Squerryes owner, Henry Warde, said: “It was a fascinating experience to watch them transform the garden into the set and we're looking forward to seeing those scenes once the new series is released.
“Although the team were with us for 14 days in total, it was just three days of filming where 350 crew, extras and staff were in the garden and family life had to be tightly controlled.
“The only hiccup was when our cocker spaniel, Inca, escaped during an important filming moment and ran across the set. We'll be looking closely to see if she appears in the final edit!”
Although Squerryes Court is no longer open as a tourist attraction, it is now a popular location for corporate events and weddings.
