A new detective drama is set to be filmed inside Leeds Corn Exchange.
Residents received notice earlier this week to explain that production studio Sister will be filming a new five-part BBC series inside The Hidden Wardrobe store in the Corn Exchange.
The store is a fashion boutique inside the Corn Exchange. The brand “specialises in beautiful designs from around the world. We also showcase fashions from local designers, stunning jewellery from Milan and Paris and shoes and bags from Spain.”
The filming is due to start next month, with a proposed filming schedule of 1 – 4pm on Monday 11 April, though these dates are thought to be confirmed at a later date.
The Hidden Wardrobe store will play host to a single scene in the drama. A letter from Sister production company stated:
“For context, the scene that we will be filming will include our lead actress attempting to sell her expensive jacket to a pre-owned clothes shop. The assistant refuses it and leaves.

The company went on to explain that the Corn Exchange will still be open for business during the day of filming: “We are speaking to management to ensure filming does not affect local trade for other businesses inside the Corn Exchange. One way we are looking to do this is by reducing the amount of crew and kit inside the location.
“Leeds City Council and The Corn Exchange Management are fully aware of out intentions and are supportive of the project. Thanks in advance for your patiences and support in making what promises to be a brilliant showcase of our wonderful city of Leeds.”
More information is expected to be released closer to the filming date.
