Film and TV are reshaping Yorkshire’s economy; one production at a time.

It’s not just what’s on screen that matters. When films like Missions Impossible and Peaky Blinders film in the region, they generate more than just celebrity buzz, they boost local economies, drive tourism, create jobs, and spark long-term investment.

From the streets of Halifax to the rolling hills of the Dales, production activity has a ripple effect. Just look at shows like Happy Valley and All Creatures Great and Small, their success has drawn visitors to Yorkshire and surrounding areas, creating a lasting economic ripple effect in the communities where filming takes place.

Screen Yorkshire alone has invested £23 million into film and TV production, unlocking over £234 million in production spend for Yorkshire.
