Halifax is experiencing a tourist boost like never before as a result of ‘Gentleman Jack’ the HBO/BBC series based on 2 years of the exciting life of Anne Lister of Shibden Hall. Written by local lady Sally Wainwright, creator of ‘Last Tango in Halifax’ (of which series 4 is now in the can and will hit BBC in 2020) and ‘Happy Valley’, series 2 will be filmed locally in the second half of 2020.
Huge birthday celebrations are planned around April 3rd, Anne’s birthday, when thousands of fans are expected in the town.
