I don't live that far from Harewood where Emmerdale is filmed or Esholt where it used to be filmed. I have an 11 year old daughter who has Downs Syndrome and she lives for Emmerdale, she can tell you anything you want to know about the cast. Last night she asked me if she could go to Emmerdale and see Jimmy and Debbie. I would love for her to meet some of the cast and walk the main street, do you know if this is possible? A few years ago my daughter and Jane Cox's daughter (Lisa Dingle) went to the same Dance school and we chatted a lot but I didnt like to ask her It would make a little girl very happy if someone had an answer Van x

The only way I know of getting to meet the cast and visiting the village is by joining the fanclub. Then joining a weekend there. There is the cricket matches that are up north in the summer, but I don't know the dates or if any are on this year.

Thanks Sarah will be thrilled. Its a shame the old Emmerdale studio tours dont exist still, I used to love them and met lots of the cast then.
Alan Turner (Richard Thorpe) uses the shop at the end of our lane sometimes and he is great, Sarah recognises him and he always slips her a £ coin bless him.

Vanilla - you might be interested to know that at the Fan Club Weekend just held in January, there were two Downs girls there with their mums!

I wouldn't mind betting if you wrote to the production centre telling them that you live close and were prepared to go at short notice that you would receive an invite of some sort.
A lot of the cast and crew are real soft touches when it comes to a good cause and Sarah's is a good one. Either way it's worth a try.
Also if the pair of you ever have time on your hands there is a public footpath that you can walk that will take you within range of the set but as to who is there on any given day is pot-luck.

This is hard work....You wrote: Newsletter,membership Card and you get to apply to go on the Fan weekend. To which I replied that you should tell her the cost of the Weekend that you mentioned as it is prohibitive for a lot of peeps.
