Where is Emmerdale Filmed?
Emmerdale is filmed mainly at a special set on the Harewood House Estate in West Yorkshire. This estate is close to Leeds and Harrogate. Before this, filming took place in real places like Esholt and Arncliffe, which caused problems for the people living there. In 1998, a replica of the village was built on the estate for the show.
Most indoor scenes are filmed at The Leeds Studios in the city center. However, when you see characters in places like the church or the B&B, they are in real buildings made for the show. Some scenes from the nearby town of Hotten are filmed in Otley, and for special episodes, the crew has filmed in County Durham.
Emmerdale Tonight (Spoiler Alert!)
Emmerdale has a new episode about the Dingle family, focusing on their grief after Zak's death. The episode shows Cain, Sam, and Belle remembering their father and dealing with the chaos from his daughter, Tina, who shows up unexpectedly.
In this episode, the siblings talk at Wishing Well Cottage about their feelings and memories of Zak. They reflect on their family roles and Belle thinks about the troubles caused by her husband, Tom. This episode is a special tribute to actor Steve Halliwell, who played Zak for many years before he passed away.
