Coronation Street fans can tour the iconic set from £35pp
CORONATION Street fans can walk in the footstep of their favourite characters with this guided tour in Manchester.
The tour will take you around the external set of Coronation Street at MediaCityUK.
The ITV soap is Britain’s longest-running and features iconic characters from the Platt family to the Websters, Barlows and McDonalds.
You’ll get to step foot on Coronation Street, Rosamund Street and Victoria Street.
While you walk around the set, your guide will reveal filming secrets and share stories from the shows.
The tour lasts about an hour and a half, and you can take endless selfies around the set.
The tour is at the ITV Studios in Trafford Park, Manchester.
You’ll find all the recognisable Corrie landmarks, including The Rovers Return, Roy’s Rolls, and The Bistro.
The set was moved to MediaCityUK in 2014, giving outdoor shooting access to a Costa Coffee, a Co-op, a curry house, and a community garden.
Although most indoor scenes are filmed in studios, you can still see the exterior of the character’s homes on the street on the lot.
Tickets for the tour are available from £35pp, and there’s availability during most weekends and bank holidays.

“Our tour guide had good knowledge and a great sense of humour, which made it very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend it.”
