Film crew in Thanet for Aldi advert shoot

Rascal Bay

A film crew has been in Thanet yesterday and today (June 13) shooting an advert for supermarket chain Aldi.

Filming has taken place on the beach and Margate’s Stone Pier and at Rascal Bay adventure golf centre in Manston, which was closed to the public today for a ‘private booking.’

The chain, founded in Germany and with almost 800 UK outlets, is currently keeping details of the advert under wraps.

A Thanet council spokesman said they were unable to issue details but added: “There is a production crew in the area and everything was excellent – they all really love Thanet!  And we have the best weather!”

The advert comes on the heels of filming in Minnis Bay by Cadburys.

A crew from production company Outsider was on location on May 31 to shoot the Twirl advert.

As well as choosing the isle spot for filming, Outsider made a donation to the Birchington sea shelters group.

Other productions shot on the isle include scenes for war movie Hurricane, Michael Caine film Night in Hatton Garden, book adaptation Juliet Naked, numerous music videos and fashion shoots and Sky Atlantic’s The Tunnel to name just a few.
