    The Knaresborough nativity is traditionally performed in the town's Market Square on Christmas Eve but due to covid a film has been made this year with Knaresborough landmarks featuring prominently.

    It's lights, camera, action for this year's Knaresborough nativity, which has been made into a film for the first time this year.

    The nativity is usually performed live in the town's Market Square on Christmas Eve. But covid forced plans to change this year.

    The film will feature familiar faces from local dramatic society Christians Together.

    The society has been filming since September, bringing the production to life by using local backdrops.

    Viewers will see the wise men following the star over the Stray and buying gifts from Knaresborough shops. The final manger scene is set inside the bar Six Poor Folk.

    Peter Lacey, the producer, said:

    “It felt obvious in the summer that a Christmas gathering of over 400 people rubbing shoulders and shaking hands was unlikely to be sensible in the context of covid, and so we set out on our own journey.
    "We’ve had to negotiate lockdowns and ensure all filming has been covid-secure, but we’re delighted with the outcome”.

    The society hopes to have the film available on its website by the end of the week. It will be uploaded here.

    A community showing has also been arranged for December, 24 at 5.15pm - household can receive the zoom link by booking on the website.
