The tour  

The Emmerdale Tour enables visitors to discover how the most popular characters and storylines are brought to life. Visitors are also able to see how the production process brings everything together into one, to create the show you see on your TV! You’ll also have the opportunity to see full scale set reconstructions, preserved props and costumes as well as the secrets behind the stunts and special effects.

As part of the tour, visitors will be able to take home a souvenir to remember their soap experience – a photograph behind the bar at The Woolpack! You can also buy some exclusive Emmerdale merchandise if you fancy too. And, after a day of exploring the set, you can enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat in the Café.

An interesting fact is the character of Sandy Thomas had a Quingo Vitess scooter that he enjoyed for some time before it was stolen!
