ITV soaps are opening their doors to the public once more…
Emmerdale and Coronation Street set tours and related activities that aim to bring unforgettable visitor experiences across 2024 ITV today announced.
With both Productions filming almost two feature films a week each, the weekends bring the time to stop and open the doors to give soap fans from all over the world an immersive treat as they step into the ‘real world’ where the shows are factory-style pumped out. With set changes and the occasional top secret storyline ‘spoiler’ no two tours are ever the same either giving visitors the occasional unpredictable plot twist visit or the sight of something brand new before it hits the nation’s screens.
Last year’s reaction to ‘Star Tours‘ brings more dates for fans to meet their favourite cast members whilst wandering the cobbles of ‘Corrie’ or the lanes of the Village formerly known as Beckindale. Alongside tours, at the Coronation Street Experience, the team are planning plenty more exciting activities and events including special cinema screenings and after the sell-out introductory screening event ‘An Evening with Todd Boyce’, more ‘Evening with….’ fun will follow throughout the year.
Last year ‘An Evening With Todd Boyce’ proved a hit with Corrie fans…
Last year the Coronation Street Experience was unveiled including a cafe, cinema and exhibition floor which continues to allow fans to experience that little bit of extra ‘telly’ magic from getting up close to legendary props and costumes or sitting in the Replica Roy’s Rolls before a photo behind the replica ‘Rovers” bar after a walk around the real live set.
Over in Emmerdale this year fans can join a tour by coach from the beautiful Harewood House estate, home to the UK’s most famous village which is hidden deep within its grounds. Arriving at the village guests will continue to experience fan favourites including a wander by The Woolpack, a nosy at David’s Shop and of course a walk through the world’s only permanent ‘fake graveyard’!
Bookings are now open for both experiences, full details are below. Details of additional ‘super soap’ events will be released throughout 2024.
