Last of the Summer Wine 50 year celebration weekend

About the event

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Roy Clarke's Last of the Summer Wine, Britain's much loved and longest running sitcom. Across 295 episodes, the series introduced us to countless characters and provided countless laughs.

To celebrate, the town of Holmfirth (where the series was filmed for 37 years) is laying on a weekend of celebratory events for fans of all ages. There is no better time to join us and walk in the wellysteps of Compo, pay a visit to Nora Batty's steps, and gather together with like-minded fans of the show.

Please see the special website under Further Information for details of all the events.
