Is Bridgerton a real place?

No, Bridgerton is named after the Bridgerton family, a fictional creation of author Julia Quinn.

Where is Bridgerton Season 3 filmed?

One of the most stunning new locations for Season 3 of Bridgerton is Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. This lavish 18th-century baroque estate, home to the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Winston Churchill, is one of the most filmed stately homes in the UK, with credits including Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, James Bond and Mission: Impossible. It previously appeared in the Bridgerton spin-off Queen Charlotte as Buckingham House (later Buckingham Palace), and plays a similar role in the main series.
Season 3 introduces us to a new character, Lady Tilley Arnold, and with her comes another impressive home, Basildon Park. The 18th-century Palladian house has featured in films including The Gentlemen, the 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice and Marie Antoinette – and its gardens also appear in Bridgerton season 2 as the location for the grand Featherington ball.

Another new character in season 3 is the eccentric Lord Hawkins, who makes his home at Grimsthorpe Castle, near Grantham. This grand house, partly redesigned on the site of a medieval fortress built by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1715, is the ancestral home of Baron Willoughby de Eresby, and also appears in the 2024 period drama Mary & George.

Many of Bridgerton’s key moments take place at the house’s grand balls, and in season 3 we can look forward to visiting Osterley Park in Hounslow, outside London. The 18th century design of the house by Robert Adam included a large central courtyard, which we see in this scene.
