Sarah Lancashire’s brilliantly unexpected Happy Valley-themed gift for co-workers - and how to get one

If you're thinking 'how can I prolong the joy of Happy Valley' now that the already iconic BBC drama series has come to an end, there's one unusual way to keep that flame burning for the Sally Wainwright drama.

Lead star, Sarah Lancashire created a parting gift for her co-stars and the crew of Happy Valley - a candle. The Catherine Cawood actress, who millions of Happy Valley fans saw triumph in the final tense, emotion-filled and brilliant stand-off with James Norton's Tommy Lee Royce in the last ever episode, visited Hebden Bridge candle shop, The Yorkshire Soap Company, to create a very special present for the entire cast and crew Yorkshire Live reports.

It's the town the show was filmed in, along with the rest of glorious and grubby Yorkshire backdrop, and, though you can't buy the candle, the Soap Company are running a competition to win one on their Instagram. Posting about their A-list collaboration, they wrote: "Some of you may know Happy Valley is set in our home town of Hebden Bridge and filmed across the wonderful county of Yorkshire! Whilst filming in town we had the pleasure of welcoming the amazing Sarah Lancashire into our shop, and over the summer of 2022 we worked together on a special gift from her to the entire cast and crew for wrapping the final season. A very Yorkshire Happy Valley Candle."
