Cast members from the BBC’s popular Call the Midwife show visited The Historic Dockyard Chatham on Thursday 27 April to re-launch its incredibly popular Call The Midwife Official Location Tour and unveil a brand new gallery featuring Trixie Franklin’s wedding dress, NEW sets, costumes, props, and unique artefacts.

Created in partnership with award-winning television production company Neal Street Productions, the Dockyard’s Call The Midwife Official Location Tour is the only one of its kind in the world. 

Set in the East End of London, many of the outside scenes from the BBC series are actually filmed at The Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent. 

The newly re-vamped tour encourages visitors to walk in the footsteps of Sister Julienne, Nurse Trixie Franklin, Nancy Corrigan and Dr Turner, to explore the cobbled streets and buildings of the Dockyard which double as ‘Poplar’, plus view the iconic locations of Grosvenor Hotel and ‘Chummy’s Hill’. 

Cast members in attendance were Georgie Glen (Miss Higgins), Laura Main (Shelagh), Stephen McGann (Dr Turner), Annabelle Apsion (Violet), Cliff Parisi (Fred), Rebecca Gethings (Sr Veronica), and Jenny Agutter (Sr Julienne). The cast made themselves at home in the new gallery and took afternoon tea with the press and invited guests.
