Castlegate in Knaresborough to close as filming continues

Castlegate in Knaresborough will be closed to allow for filming.

Castlegate in Knaresborough is set to close tomorrow (Friday) and next week as film crews return to the town.

Camera crews will take over the town centre street to resume shooting a Christmas film, which will star Kiefer Sutherland.

Scenes are set to take place outside Kelly Teggin Hairdressing and around Green Dragon Yard.

The road will be closed between the junctions of B6163 Gracious Street and the junction with Market Place / Chapel Street, which will be in effect on filming days only. 

Producers Future Artists Entertainment have set up in the car park at Conyngham Hall, with filming already taking place on Riverside. 

Filming will take place on Castlegate and Green Dragon Yard tomorrow from 4:30pm until 9pm, and 4pm until 8:30pm on Tuesday. 

A spokesperson for Future Artists Entertainment said:

“We are working closely and sharing information and plans with North Yorkshire Council, and in order to safely and efficiently facilitate the filming, we will be applying for a small number of parking dispensations on Kirkgate for our design department’s vehicles during prep and reinstatement.”

Filming will resume today (Thursday) on Kirkgate from 10am until 4:30pm.

The spokesperson said:

“The film is a family Christmas movie for a well-known UK distributor, and centres on Brad, a Hollywood action movie star who unexpectedly finds himself performing in the pantomime in the fictional town of Stanford.

“We have had such a lovely welcome from the local community over the last week or so, and I just wanted to extend my thanks on behalf of the cast and crew, and to reassure local residents that we don’t take such lovely hospitality for granted.”
