Where is the new season of The Great British Sewing Bee filmed?
The programme is usually filmed somewhere in London, but this 2022 we are heading somewhere different and it’s up north, all the way to Sunny Bank Mills, which is a famous woollen mill located just outside of Leeds.
The new Yorkshire location is very different from its old one but fans can’t wait to see a more wholesome filming location. The founder of School of Sew, Nicola Lee, confirmed the show’s new location during an interview with the Yorkshire Evening Post, saying:
It’s great it’s come up to Yorkshire – for any programme, not just the Sewing Bee.

You can visit Sunny Bank Mills yourself!
Sunny Bank Mills is one of Yorkshire’s more popular tourist attractions and you can go and see it yourself. There is a gallery available to explore as well as a shop and cosy tearoom that you can enjoy.
It is open six days a week from Tuesday to Sunday and for the more keen sewers and fans of the show you can live out your sewing bee fantasy by signing up for the sewing classes.
One of the judges of the programme, Patrick Grant, thinks the new filing location is a “clever tribute” to the textile world, saying:
Leeds is at the heart of the wool and textile industry so it feels appropriate to film in a great big spinning mill.

Where was the series previously filmed?
Before moving up north the series used to be filmed in London. Specifically at The Chain Store on Trinity Buoy which is located just off the River Themes next to the O2 arena.
The filming locations for the programme have frequently changed with 2020’s location being shot in a studio in Bermondsey for season six. This location was historically known as the home of London textiles.
In 2019 the series was filmed on Tanner Street in London near the tower bridge, which is also a recognised location as the filming spot for Dragons’ Den.
