Sally Wainwright TV shows: New dates and times for when Riot Women crew will be filming in Hebden Bridge town centre
Hebden Bridge residents and visitors are likely to see a film crew and possibly some famous faces over the coming weeks.
Sally Wainwright is back in Calderdale making her latest show, Riot Women.
Following the massive success of Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax and Gentleman Jack – all also filmed and based in Calderdale – it is set in Hebden Bridge and centres around five menopausal women who form a punk rock band.
The cast has not been officially revealed yet but it is understood to include some well-known actresses.
Filming has been taking place in and around Hebden Bridge since June, with some road closures and parking suspensions being needed in the town centre on certain days.
The latest alert from the Riot Women locations team says filming will be taking place right through until at least mid-September.
The crew will be at The Albert and on Albert Street in Hebden Bridge town centre on Monday, August 19 between 7.30am and 5.30pm; Wednesday, August 21 between 8.30am and 7.30pm; Monday, September 2 between 7.30am and 6.30pm; Tuesday, September 3 between 7.30am and 6.30pm; Monday, September 9 between 7.30am and 6.30pm; Monday, September 16 between 7.30am and 6.30pm; and Wednesday, September 18 between 7.30am and 6.30pm.
Additionally, the crew will be filming further down Albert Street towards the corner of Carlton Street on Thursday, August 22 between 7.30am and noon and Friday, August 23 between 7.30am and noon.
On these two days, there will be a ‘stop/go’ system in place on the corner for access to Albert Street.
The locations team say anyone needing to access businesses on Albert Street during the businesses will be directed where to park.
Speaking to the Halifax Courier back in April, Sally revealed more about her latest project and the characters it features

"They form a punk rock band to sing about what they're angry about.
"It's just me letting rip really!
"We've got a song about HRT called Seeing Red.
