The cobbles of the former site of Coronation Street are set to be filled with the sounds of tourists from the 15th April.
Tickets for a tour of the soap’s former home at the Quay Street site will be open to the public for a limited time only before the site is redeveloped.
The tour has been put together by Continuum which has been working with ITV to develop a behind the scenes, guided tour based around actual sets and props used in filming at the site over the last 53 years following the move of its production to MediaCityUK.
Juliana Delaney, CEO of Continuum Leading Attractions, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with ITV on this unique opportunity. We will inject our enthusiasm and expertise in storytelling as well as creating a memorable visitor experience for all our guests around the sets and original cobbles of this world famous street.”
The tickets, priced from £15, went on sale this morning and as it has been 15 years since the public have been able to have access to the site, after the former Granada Studios Tour closed down, they are expected to be in short supply.
The tour promises visitors glimpses of some of the interior sets where key scenes were filmed, never before opened to the public and the chance to see exclusive props and memorabilia from Coronation Street’s history.
