Sunny weekend at newly re-opened Shibden Hall estate

The hot weather attracted a number of visitors to the historic Shibden Hall and Park, Halifax at the weekend as people are once again allowed to walk through Anne Lister’s home.

The Grade II* Listed Shibden Hall is a major filming location of BBC period drama Gentleman Jack, which was due to begin filming series two earlier this year. An update was given by Gemma Whelan, who plays Anne’s younger sister Marian, to when filming may begin. Speaking to Digital Spy she said: “I do know that we were meant to start filming in June, and of course because of the current situation, that has currently been pushed to September and we all hope that may happen.” To book a slot to visit Shibden Hall visit www.eventbrite.co.uk.
