The magic of the Coronation Street and Emmerdale tours is more than what you see – it’s the warmth of reliving shared history with loved ones, just as you’ve done on the sofa for decades prior.
27 million of us gathered around the TV on Christmas Day 1987 for Hilda Ogden’s iconic farewell bash in the Rovers, and seven years later, we were gripped as a plane crash wreaked havoc across Emmerdale. Both legendary soap moments – and many since – have brought families together to share in their love of two of Britain’s most-loved dramas. Nothing says ‘Christmas’ like the joy or sadness of a festive storyline in Weatherfield or the Dales.
With attention turning to who will be the next star of Christmas in soap land, the Coronation Street Experience and Emmerdale Village Tour are offering unique Christmas experiences that let you or your loved ones become part of these unforgettable stories. These tours make for truly memorable Christmas gifts, perfect for fans wanting to share memories across generations.
