The College has excellent facilities that can meet modern or period settings.  Where the request is in keeping with the ethos of the College, we will try to meet your needs. For extended shoots, accommodation and catering can be provided as well as extensive facilities.  Filming can be disruptive to the daily life and business of the College, and sometimes provides the College with logistical and security issues.

Where permission is approved, a license is granted by St Patrick's College. Filming will be permitted in the agreed designated areas of the College, and a security escort from the College will be provided for the unit while on campus to facilitate and liaise with the various College departments.

Requests to film or take photographs on the campus of St Patrick's College should be made by letter or on-line, at least one month in advance. If permission should be granted, a license will be issued by the PR Office. Without this license, Security will remove anyone filming on campus.
