Location, Location!

DZG is much more than a zoo; hundreds of animals inhabit an ancient wooded hillside around the ruins of the 11th century Dudley Castle and share a site with the world's largest single collection of Modernist Tecton structures. 

There are sealions in the moat, bats in the UK’s biggest man-made caverns beneath the hill, and the Grey Lady ghost in the medieval courtyard - and lots more!

That’s why we’re the Number One choice for so many events organisers and location co-ordinators who have discovered the unique site that is DZG.

We’ve provided a backdrop for many TV favourites and recent location events include:

• CBeebies/BBC launch of Live’n’Deadly
• the first live children’s programme from the Beeb for more than a decade
• open air concert by Status Quo (5,000 standing) and a Katherine Jenkins evening (2,000 seated) in the courtyard
• Peppa Pig picnic
• Lenny Henry’s First Love life story
• charity abseils down castle walls
• National Geographic wildlife footage
• TV adverts
• period drama filming
• TV programmes (Flog it! / Dalziel &Pascoe) / Newsround / Titanic / Strictly Come Dancing)
• BBC Lottery draw
• live broadcasting for local radio stations
• ghost hunts
• classic car shows
• photographic shoots . . . to name but a few!

So why not consider DZG as your next location? Our staff are always on hand to advise and have a wealth of experience of this special site.
