It is understood there will be some filming taking place outside The Piece Hall during the week.

Woolshops Shopping Centre has said its car park is open but there will only be entre from Gaol Lane, not The Piece Hall side.

It has also posted on social media that drivers are able to leave the car park most of the time but there will be "a couple of instances" when filming is taking place outside The Piece Hall when vehicles will be prevented from leaving the car park.
