Road closure and access restrictions 23rd – 25th August 2021

The Parish Council have been contacted by Poppet Productions who will be filming a new Roald Dahl production at Bison Hill between Eaton Bray and Whipsnade between 23rd – 25th August.

The site has been chosen for its scenery and background of Eaton Bray, Edlesborough and the surround Chiltern Hills. The project is a musical adaptation of a well-loved Roald Dahl story set in the 1980’s. Bison Hill car park has been chosen for its outstanding aspect and views that give an unbeatable backdrop for the scenes being filmed.
