A PREVIEW screening of the BBC’s new drama about the Brontë family will take place in Yorkshire.

Keighley people are being invited to apply for tickets to attend the December 13 screening of To Walk Invisible.

Although much of the film was shot in Haworth during the summer, including Main Street and a specially-built Parsonage set on Penistone Hill, the screening will be over the moors in Hebden Bridge.

To Walk Invisible will be screened on BBC1 later this year following the preview at Hebden Bridge Picture House.

Writer and director Sally Wainwright, who also writes hit dramas Happy Valley and Last Tango In Halifax, will be at the preview to talk about the new film.

Tickets can be requested through the BBC by visiting the website visiting bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/shows/to_walk_invisible_13dec16.

Sally, who was born and brought up in the Calder Valley, is a Bronte enthusiast.

She said: “I am honoured the BBC asked me to bring to life this fascinating family in a story set in the heart of West Yorkshire, a place which means so much to me.

“This is such an exciting and ambitious project. Something about the lives of these three brilliant, talented Yorkshire women seems to touch people at a very deep level.

“I was absolutely determined to give people in Yorkshire a chance to see To Walk Invisible before everyone else because the Bronte sisters are such an important part of the county’s culture and heritage.

“I also wanted to thank all those people in Yorkshire who were so helpful while we were filming and who contributed to the film. I hope lots of people will join us for the screening.”

Doors will open on December 13 and tickets must be requested through the BBC’s Shows and Tours website. Space will be limited.

The evening will be hosted by BBC Radio 5 live presenter Anna Foster, who will interview Sally Wainwright and Executive Producer Faith Penhale before the screening.

Members of the cast are expected to attend too.

To Walk Invisible looks at the lives of the Bronte family, telling the story of the three remarkable women who came from obscurity to produce some of the greatest novels in the English language.

The drama stars Jonathan Pryce, from Wolf Hall and Game of Thrones, as the Bronte sisters’ father Patrick.

Emily Bronte, author of Wuthering Heights, is played by Chloe Pirrie (An Inspector Calls, War & Peace).

Finn Atkins (Vera, Common) plays older sister Charlotte, author of Jane Eyre. Charlie Murphy (The Last Kingdom, Happy Valley) plays younger sister Anne, who wrote Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

Brother Branwell is played by Adam Nagaitis (Banished, Happy Valley).
