Join a personalized midwife guide on a 1.5-hour walk around the iconic dockyard used for filming the acclaimed BBC series ‘Call the Midwife’. The tour goes beyond the screen, featuring an exhibition of original outfits and equipment utilized in the beloved TV show.
Originally based on the series of books written by Jennifer Worth, the award-winning TV adaptation of ‘Call the Midwife’ has captivated audiences worldwide since its debut in 2012. While the interiors of Nonnatus House are filmed on a closed studio set in Surrey, many exterior scenes and other locations are shot at Chatham Dockyard in Kent.
With over 10 million viewers and now in its fifth series, the Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent has been used to depict the impoverished areas of East End London during the 1950s and 1960s.
As you stroll around the dockyard, you’ll recognize the streets and buildings that represent the area around Poplar Dock, where many memorable scenes featuring the show’s stars have been filmed.
This leisurely walking tour is led by your very own ‘midwife’ and guide. Your ‘midwife’ will share intriguing anecdotes about the show’s filming, behind-the-scenes facts, and provide background information on Chatham Dockyard itself. The tour also includes an exhibition of costumes and props used in the show, including a recreation of the Nonnatus House dining table.
Various other locations around The Dockyard have also been featured in the BBC One production, as well as in numerous other movies and TV shows.
Purchasing a ticket for the Call the Midwife Locations Tour also grants you full access to explore Chatham Dockyard.
