A Soapy Weekend

Day 1 – Friday:

We depart Kent and travel to Yorkshire, arriving at the Cedar Court Leeds Bradford for our 3-night stay.

Day 2 – Saturday:

After breakfast, we head west towards Manchester and The Trafford Centre, a large indoor shopping and leisure complex. Enjoy some time browsing the shops and choose a spot for lunch. After lunch, we head to the ITV studios for our Coronation Street Tour. A thrilling 90-minute exploration of the largest single TV production site in the world. Join Weatherfield’s finest and experience the magic of Coronation Street up close. Explore the famous cobbles as you stroll past Roy’s Rolls Café or check out Kev’s car shop - Webster’s Auto Centre. Wander past The Kabin, and see the most action-packed pub in the North West - The Rovers Return. Later we return to the hotel in time for dinner.

Day 3 – Sunday:

After breakfast, we begin our Emmerdale adventure travelling to Otley, (Hotton in the series). We enjoy time here before moving on to the tiny village of Esholt where the show was filmed for decades before residents wished to reclaim their village and a replica filming village was built which we will visit later. After spending some time looking around, we head into the Woolpack Inn where we have arranged for a drink. It is the original Emmerdale Woolpack and the only 'soap' pub where you can get a drink. This afternoon we travel on to our Emmerdale Village Tour, starting at the The New Inn Pub, where we will board for our transfer to the secret filming location on the Harewood Estate. Explore the stunning Emmerdale Village as you visit the outdoor set where episodes of your favourite soap are brought to life.

Day 4 – Monday:

After breakfast, we depart and head home.
