Following in the footsteps of The Outlaws
A new map has been added to Bristol Film Office’s collection which provides an Outlaws-themed experience across our city.
Fans of the BBC comedy-thriller can now visit filming locations across Bristol, with the help of an interactive map that is accessible through the Bristol Film Office website.
The map features 26 locations including The Galleries, the Bank of England building in Castle Park, the Floating Harbour, St Werburgh’s City Farm and even Brunel House student accommodation block.

Bristol Film Office, in partnership with Visit Bristol and Bristol UNESCO City of Film, created the movie map as a gift for fans of the series.

Head of film at Bristol City Council, Laura Aviles, said: “The Outlaws has been an incredible show for the city of Bristol.
“Over three series aired across BBC One, BBC iPlayer and Amazon Prime Video, the show has beamed Bristol’s distinctive culture and identity around the world, both through the twists and turns of the plot and the varied visual backdrop of the city.
“Bristol Film Office’s Movie Maps always prove popular, and this addition to the collection presents a selection of the most prominent filming locations featured across The Outlaws’ 17 episodes.
“With film tourism and ‘set-jetting’ becoming increasingly popular, we hope this map will give residents and city visitors who are fans of the show a fun insight into the real-life locations they have seen on screen.”

The third and latest season of The Outlaws premiered in May.
Creator, executive producer and series showrunner, Stephen Merchant, said they had tried to showcase Bristol “in every light”.
Merchant added: “When people approach me when I’m out and about, they talk about how much they love the show, and they always mention the roads that they recognise, the buildings they recognise, the art on the walls that they love.
“I think that’s really nice, because we wanted to make sure that the whole of Bristol felt a part of this story, it didn’t belong to the Outlaws, it belongs to Bristol.”
As well as the Outlaws, Bristol Film Office boasts of a large collection of movie maps showcasing locations of films and series like Sherlock, Sanditon, Skins and more.
