The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry [12A]
22 – 31 May
A seemingly unremarkable man in his 60s named Harold one
day learns his old friend Queenie is dying. He embarks on a
walk, only to keep going for 450 miles until he reaches
Queenie's hospice, much to the despair of his wife Maureen.
Based on a novel by Rachel Joyce and starring Jim Broadbent
and Penelope Wilton.
Filming took place entirely on location to match Harold's walk
in the story. Filming began in Devon (including Kingsbridge) in
September 2021.
Filming also took place in Gloucestershire, on the border
between Wakefield and Dewsbury, and Sheffield, Yorkshire.
