End in sight for Coronation Street tours

CORONATION STREET tours at Quay Street, Manchester are to close on December 31 this year.

The tour opened last year for a six month period, but due to public demand it was given an extended run. Since opening, the attraction has had more than 500,000 visitors to the site where #CoronationStreet was filmed before its move to MediaCity.

Visitors can explore behind the scenes of the sound stage studio featuring the green room, dressing rooms, interior sets such as The Rovers Return, and the backlot set of Coronation Street's cobbles.

James Penfold, ITV’s controller of partnerships, said: ‘The tour at Quay Street was always for a limited time, and the demand has exceeded all our expectations. However, all good things have to come to an end.’
