Step into an unforgettable experience in the Emmerdale Village outdoor TV set as you go behind the scenes to walk in the footsteps of your favourite characters of your favourite soap!

The Emmerdale Village Tour is an outside walking tour with uneven surfaces and some hilly areas. Guests are advised to wear appropriate footwear and clothing.
Day 3
This morning we arrive at Manchester's MediaCityUK for the Coronation Street Tour.
First broadcast in 1960, uncover the stories of 'the street' on a behind the scenes tour! A unique 'access all areas' tour allows you to walk the cobbles of the outdoor set at MediaCityUK, where off-air secrets and some fascinating facts are revealed, as you get immersed in familiar surroundings as you stroll past Roy's Café, The Kabin, the Rovers Return and Kev's car shop.
Tour Duration: 80 minutes. As this is a live working set, some areas may occasionally be closed to tours, due to ongoing production. This is an active walking tour, guests are advised that they should be physically capable and prepared to walk around a street setting for up to 80 minutes. The tour is exclusively outside and guests should wear appropriate clothing. Due to the nature of the tour there are raised pavements and cobbled streets, care should be taken when walking on different surfaces.
Enjoy free time in the area, before we return back to the Hotel.
Day 4
Departing from the city of Leeds in the heart of West Yorkshire, the starting point of the 2014 Tour de France cycle race, we head north making our way through the scenic countryside where we will discover some of the locations used in the filming of Emmerdale. The tour will also include a visit to the market town of Otley in Wharfedale, known as Hotten in the soap.
We will continue on to Esholt where much of the filming of Emmerdale took place for 22 years (before a replica village was constructed on the grounds of Harewood House situated between Leeds & Harrogate) & where you will see familiar landmarks including the Woolpack pub.
