The Great British Sewing Bee is filmed at Sunny Bank Mills, a famous 19th- century woollen mill located just outside of Leeds, in Farsley, West Yorkshire. The mill, founded in 1829, was historically a significant textile mill known for fine worsted wool yarn used in fabric and dressmaking. The show has been filmed there since its eighth season in 2022, moving from previous locations in London, such as The Chainstore in Trinity Buoy Wharf and other sites tied to London's textile history. The choice of Sunny Bank Mills is fitting due to Leeds' central role in the wool and textile industry, and the mill provides a distinctive industrial backdrop to the program.
