Filming Locations
Unless otherwise stated on the relevant venue entry page, media can request filming at the city locations featured in the Glasgow Broadcast Guide by emailing at least 48 hours in advance to: citycamerapositions@glasgow.gov.uk
Please note: locations being managed by Glasgow City Council’s COP26 media operations team are outwith the conference’s Blue and Green Zones, which are under the jurisdiction of the UNFCCC and UK Government.
Where possible filming permission will be advised within 24 hours of receiving media requests.
Film passes for the specified location(s) on the date requested should be collected in person from the Glasgow Destination Media Hub (DMH).
Destination Media Hub
The Destination Media Hub will be located at 40 John Street, Glasgow G1 1JL within the COP26 Host City Zone as a drop-in facility for Scottish, UK and international press and broadcasters who will be in Glasgow during the conference.
It will be open to all COP26 accredited media as well as non-accredited media on presentation of their bona fide press credentials and will operate daily from 0900-1900 between Thursday 28 October and Friday 12 November.
The DMH team will be on hand to assist media with destination enquiries on Glasgow and Scotland, as well as facilitate the booking of official city camera positions.
The ‘Made in Glasgow’ showcase meanwhile will highlight the city’s innovative approach to sustainability - particularly through circular economy principles - and also profile its creativity across art, architecture, design, film, fashion, food and drink.
Media will have access to free Wi-Fi and be able to enjoy a taste of Glasgow with complimentary refreshments from local suppliers. There is space within the DMH for one-to-one meetings or to find a hot desk if a deadline is looming!
The DMH will also be the media pass collection point for news outlets filming at the bookable stand up locations as detailed in the Glasgow Broadcast Guide.
All necessary COVID-19 measures, in line with Scottish Government guidelines, will be in place to protect media and staff within the Destination Media Hub.
If you can, please email us to let us know you’re planning to drop by at: COP26media@glasgow.gov.uk
We look forward to welcoming you to the DMH!
