Request for Filming and Photography at Saint Patrick's College, Maynooth

Maynooth College is recognised as one of the finest film locations in Ireland with its Georgian and Neo-Gothic buildings dating from the 18th century to the 20th, and its extensive grounds and gardens. We welcome filming and photography on the campus of Saint Patrick’s College.

The College has excellent facilities that can meet modern or period settings.  For extended shoots, accommodation and catering can be provided as well as extensive facilities.  Where the request is in keeping with the ethos of the College, we will try to meet your needs. We acknowledge that sometimes we cannot accommodate requests as filming can be disruptive to the daily life and business of the College, and 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 can be made by letter or on-line. We would prefer one month's notice. If permission should be granted, a license will be issued by the PR Office. Without this license, Security will remove anyone filming on campus.

Commercial Filming or Photography:

Minimum fees for commercial filming or photography on campus are charged at €200 per hour, or part thereof, payable in advance. Extended filming for movies, series and commercials, involving several days or weeks, will be negotiated. Overnight parking can be provided for make-up, catering, wardrobe and facilities trucks.

The College will charge extra for residential accommodation, catering, parking and additional facilities that you might require.
