Did you know....

Key scenes in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale were filmed at in Harrogate?

Hundreds of cast, crew and extras were based on site, transforming the Showground into the Yorkshire County Show of the 1930s. Even actor Jim Carter (Mr Carson) has a personal connection — he was born in Harrogate and learned to ride his bike at the Showground.

The Great Yorkshire Events Centre team worked closely with producers to bring the production to life, from building sets to hosting trailers, props and catering across the 250-acre site.

👉 Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is in cinemas worldwide today.

Yorkshire Shines in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale

The beloved story reaches its final chapter, and Yorkshire once again takes centre stage as a world-class filming destination.

From Thirsk, to the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate, to Ripon Racecourse, which doubles as Ascot, our region’s landscapes and heritage bring authenticity and grandeur to the big screen.

Behind the camera, local Yorkshire crew, including an expert locations manager, helped make the production a reality, further cementing the region’s reputation as one of the UK’s most sought-after places to film.

“I adore filming in Yorkshire! The rural scenery is stunning and each City has its own unique look. I look forward to bringing future projects to this fabulous County.”
– Sparky Ellis, Supervising Location Manager, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale

👉 Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is in cinemas nationwide today.
