Description

Original 4 June 2026, 3:12pm

Filming will be taking place on the canal at Rotton Park Junction. During this time, there will be a large film crew on site, and a 5m x 8m pontoon will be positioned in the water, along with two narrowboats. As a result, both navigation and access along the towpath will be restricted at times.

When filming is in progress, you may be asked to wait briefly—usually only a few minutes—until there is a suitable break before continuing. If you would prefer not to wait, an alternative route is available by crossing to the opposite side of the canal at either Winson Green or St Vincent Street.

Boaters may also be asked to wait for up to 15 minutes to pass safely through the filming area. Please take extra care when navigating past the pontoon and follow any guidance provided by staff on site.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and cooperation.
