CBeebies films its 'summer song' in Morecambe
KIDS TV channel CBeebies was in Morecambe last week filming its ‘summer song’.
To the excitement of the town’s children and young at heart, presenters Alex and Sid travelled to Morecambe on Thursday (June 30) with their film crew.
On Thursday and Friday, they visited Happy Mount Park, the West End Gardens and the beach, among other locations recommended by staff at Lancaster City Council.
Once edited, the film will be shown between programmes at various times throughout the summer season.
Coun Ron Sands, portfolio holder for tourism, said: “This is yet another coup and shows how popular the district is becoming with TV and film companies, following hot on the heels of the recent visits of Missing Millions, Come Dine with Me and Escape to the Country.
“National publicity such as this is gold dust as it promotes our beautiful area to millions of people and encourages them to visit us in the future.”
Lancaster City Council works closely with film companies to encourage them to the district by suggesting suitable locations and securing relevant permissions.
Over the last 12 months TV programmes including Songs of Praise, Ade in Britain, Come Dine With Me, Escape to the Country, and Missing Millions have all been filmed on location in the district.
