Visiting coronation street set?

Question

Where exactly is Coronation Street set located in Manchester?

Is it possible to visit this set?

Is it possible to get a glimpse/picture of the cast?

Answer 1

Its in Granada studios and i was going to go there but they have stopped the tours for some reason :)

Answer 2

It is at Granada Studios, it was open to the public as my family and i have been there, but im sure they stopped allowing the public to visit a few years ago. http://www.corrie.net/profiles/places/se...  yes,if you click this link it tells you!!

Answer 3

Yes it's part of the Granada Studios backlot - where Liverpool Street Station was (which is now the science museum) and backs onto that. It was possible to visit the Granada Studios Tour a few years back but after the show went to 3 or more episodes a week which meant more outside filming, they stopped it. There was a brief period where Corporate visits and tours took place but I understand they don't even cater for those now either. I went 3 or 4 times and loved it and would love to go again but sadly no, it's not possible now.

As for glimpses of the cast, yes if you go round the back where the car park is and walk along one of the side roads to the barrier, you can see them come out when they have finished filming. The times depend of course but you'll be amazed at the size of some of their cars! :)

Answer 4

The set is within Granada studios - Unfortunately I believe it is no longer open to the public.

I visited back in 1997 and did the tour which included the set but this is not allowed anymore I am afraid =[

Answer 5

it is just around the corner from the science museum

there is a barrier where you can wait and get to see the cast. Some times they stop and sigh things for you .
