‘The Anne Lister Story’ was filmed at Shibden Hall, Halifax, home of Anne Lister in 2015 and released in 2016. The film is an interview of Anne Lister biographer Helena Whitbread about Anne’s life and her own discovery of Anne’s journals and work to share them.

In late 2022, we invited Helena back to Shibden to create a second film, ‘The Helena Whitbread Story’ to document Helena’s life and work sharing Anne’s Story for release on Anne Lister’s birthday, 3rd April 2023. Find out more about Anne Lister at calderdale.gov.uk/museums.
