Historic hall to be setting for TV film

0

HISTORIC Arley Hall is to be the setting for the Disney Channel’s first UK live action production.
“Evermoor” will tell the story of an American teenager uprooted from her city home in the US to start a new life in England.
It will be produced by Liverpool-based Lime Pictures, the company behind Hollyoaks and The Only Way is Essex.
Filming will start at the end of April and the comedy drama will be screened in the autumn, possibly as a single film or as a four part series.
Billed as a mystery adventure, the film will see 14-year-old Tara Bailey move into beautiful but spooky Evermoor Manor – in reality, Arley Hall – where she discovers a magical tapestry which seemingly predicts the future.
The Victorian mansion, which has previously featured in a number of programmes including Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and The Forsyte Saga – was chosen after an extensive location scouting across the North West
The producers were looking for an interesting old house, inviting but also a little sinister.
Casting has yet to be finalised and the producers are open as to whether the actress playing the heroine is from the UK or the US.
The Disney Channel’s David Levine said: “Evermoor is a hugely exciting project for the team with a gripping story that I’m sure will captivate our global audience.”
A Grade 2 Listed building, Arley Hall is the home of Viscount Ashbrook and his family.
