From the meticulous construction of the set to the challenges of filming on location, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry and effort that goes into bringing Emmerdale to life.
A Purpose-Built Masterpiece
The Emmerdale set, as it stands today, was purpose-built in the grounds of Harewood House in 1997. Its former filming location in Esholt had become so popular with visitors that continuing production there was no longer feasible. To preserve the integrity of the show’s storytelling, the secluded and secure location at Harewood was chosen, offering the perfect balance of accessibility and privacy. Its somewhat secretive home has added to its allure, making this tour an even more exclusive experience.
Important Details
It’s essential to note that the Emmerdale Set Tour is a walking tour of the outdoor filming set. While you’ll immerse yourself in the charming streets and stunning exteriors of Emmerdale, interior scenes are filmed elsewhere and are not part of the tour. Additionally, due to the cobbled streets, grassy paths, and steps, the tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Don’t Miss Out
Immerse yourself in the poignant and dramatic world of this extraordinary rural village, where the beauty of the surroundings is matched only by the unforgettable stories told within it. The only real drama is if you miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk in the footsteps of your favorite characters and relive the magic of Emmerdale.
