Upon arrival you will have a 7-minute pre-show in the cinema. Then you will step onto the Street for a Guided tour of the External Set as you join expert tour guides for a 90-minute tour around the biggest TV production set of its kind. Afterwards you will be visiting the
brand-new Exhibition to see replica sets of inside Roy’s Rolls and The Rovers Return along with some original props and costumes from the nation’s favourite street over 60 years.
You will have photo opportunities in these replica sets.
*Emmerdale Although the current Emmerdale is now filmed on a closed set (which we do not visit) this tour will take you to the beautiful village of Esholt – the original ‘Emmerdale Village’ where you can have a drink at the inn that was once used as the ‘Woolpack’ in the popular TV series.
