A festive film that was partly shot in Knaresborough is set to be released in just a few weeks.

Christmas film Tinsel Town, features a star-studded cast, is set to be released on 28th November.

The Sky Original movie features Kiefer Sutherland, Rebel Wilson and Danny Dyer, who were all spotted filming around Knaresborough in January and February. 

Locations included Riverside, Castlegate and Green Dragon Yard, with parts of the production also taking place in Harrogate and Leeds.

Directed by Chris Foggin, known for the 2022 festive film This Is Christmas, Tinsel Town tells the story of a former Hollywood star who unexpectedly finds himself taking part in a small-town pantomime version of Cinderella.

Sutherland takes the lead role as Bradley Mack, while Wilson plays choreographer Jill.

Rebel Wilson shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from filming on social media earlier this year, thanking the Yorkshire crews and describing her time in the region as “like free cryotherapy” due to the cold weather.

Knaresborough, often praised for its historic charm, cobbled streets and riverside views, provided a scenic backdrop for the film. 

The town’s landmarks - including the viaduct, castle ruins, and independent shops - are expected to feature throughout the movie.
