The external Coronation Street set at MediaCityUK in Manchester will open to the general public later this month, Continuum Attractions have confirmed.
From Saturday 26 May, guided tours will operate every Saturday up to and including 14 July, every Saturday in September, Saturday 3 November, with the final tour for 2018 on Saturday 10 November.
Working in partnership with ITV and the team at Coronation Street, access to the external sets which will include the famous cobbled street, Rosamund Street and the brand new extended Victoria Street, will open on select weekends until the end of the year. The tours will last approximately 1.5 hours and be full of filming stories and secrets, and packed with photo opportunities.
Juliana Delaney, CEO of Continuum Attractions, said, “It is with great pride we announce our operation of guided tours around the Coronation Street external sets at MediaCityUK from later this month. The show has such an extraordinary connection with their fans all across the world, we’re delighted some will be lucky enough to now follow in the footsteps of their favourite characters and walk down those famous cobbles.”
John Whiston, MD Continuing Drama & Head of ITV in the North, added, “Turning the corner and stepping out onto the most famous TV street in the world never gets old, even after working here as long as I have. I still get such a massive thrill. To be able to now share Coronation Street with the most important people on the show – our audience – is very exciting and I hope they soak it all in and enjoy it as much as we do.”
Tickets cost £35 (including booking fee) and can be booked at coronationstreettour.co.uk
