Tottington Manor Listed by Sussex Film Office for Film Crew Accommodation and Production Support

Tottington Manor is featured in the Sussex Film Office supplier directory as a West Sussex hotel and hospitality base for film and television productions, cast, crew and location teams.

A Film-Friendly Hotel and Production Base in West Sussex

Film and television productions working across Sussex often need more than bedrooms. A useful production base must be able to support early starts, changing schedules, vehicle movements, private meetings, crew meals and somewhere quiet for cast and production teams to reset between filming days.

Tottington Manor offers twelve boutique bedrooms, a secure on-site car park, TERRA Restaurant, private dining rooms and flexible meeting and event spaces. The hotel can accommodate smaller cast and crew groups together while providing space for production briefings, interviews, wardrobe preparation, location meetings or private dining.

Its countryside setting near Henfield places productions within reach of Brighton, Worthing, Shoreham, Horsham, Burgess Hill, the Sussex coast and the South Downs National Park, while offering a quieter alternative to a town-centre hotel.

A successful production stay is about bringing accommodation, food, parking and practical working space together in one reliable location.

Supporting Film Crews, Cast and Production Teams

Sussex Film Office acts as a local locations and permissions partner for productions, helping with location sourcing, filming permits, council liaison and practical logistics across the county. Its supplier network connects productions with local accommodation, catering, facilities, unit-base support and other film-ready services.

For production teams using Tottington Manor, requirements can be discussed directly with the hotel in advance. These may include bedroom blocks, early breakfasts, packed meals, private crew dining, meeting rooms, vehicle parking and areas for confidential conversations or production administration.

A Sussex Hotel with Television Experience

Tottington Manor has previously supported television activity involving Discovery TV with Richard Hammond, Channel 4 productions including Grand Designs and Come Dine with Me, and The Hotel Inspector. The hotel also featured on Channel 4’s Four in a Bed, with directors Helen and Phil welcoming the programme’s guests to Tottington Manor.

This experience means the team understands the practical realities of filming: changing call times, discreet service, access requirements, crew movements and the need to protect both production confidentiality and the experience of hotel guests.

In the Heart of the ITV Grace Filming Area

ITV’s crime drama Grace is closely associated with Brighton and the wider Sussex area. Tottington Manor’s position between Brighton, Worthing and the South Downs makes it a useful accommodation and logistics base for productions working across the programme’s familiar urban, coastal and countryside filming territory.

The surrounding area offers access to coast, countryside, historic villages, farmland, roads and distinctive Sussex landscapes, while the hotel provides a secure and comfortable place for teams to stay, meet and dine.

Tottington Manor as a Potential Filming Location

In addition to accommodation and production support, Tottington Manor may be considered as a filming or photography location. The historic manor, boutique bedrooms, TERRA Restaurant, bar, private dining rooms, South Downs Suite, gardens, terraces and countryside backdrop provide a range of visual settings within one site.

Location filming is subject to availability, a detailed production brief, insurance, agreed access arrangements and protection of the building, grounds, guests and neighbours. Productions requiring public-location permits or wider Sussex location support should contact Sussex Film Office directly.
