Emmerdale Village Tour

Step into the captivating world of Emmerdale with the exclusive Emmerdale Village Tour, a unique opportunity to explore the live, working TV set located within the Harewood Estate in Leeds. This iconic site has witnessed decades of drama, heartache, and triumphs on-screen and has now opened its gates on select weekend dates, giving fans the chance to experience the magic of this beloved soap opera. With cast and crew taking a break from scripts, guests can tread the tarmac and indulge in a fully guided tour of the fictional village that has captured viewers’ hearts for over 43 years.

As you embark on this unforgettable journey, you’ll marvel at the beauty of the picturesque farming village, nestled amongst the rolling hills of Yorkshire. Strolling down the lanes, visitors are greeted with the surreal sight of stone-clad shops and homes that form the backdrop of countless memorable moments. Each corner of the village radiates charm and familiarity, making it feel as though you’ve stepped straight into the heart of Emmerdale.

Explore the Iconic Landmarks

The Emmerdale Set Tour invites fans to saunter past some of the show’s most iconic haunts. Wander by Bob’s Café, the scene of many heartfelt conversations and dramatic revelations. Stand outside The Woolpack, the pub that has been the center of the village’s social life for decades. Admire the quaint village church, which has been the setting for joyous weddings, somber funerals, and pivotal moments in the show’s history. As you meander through rows of stone cottages, you’ll recognize the homes that have housed generations of your favorite characters.

Throughout the tour, knowledgeable guides share fascinating stories and behind-the-scenes secrets about the making of the multi-award-winning ITV soap. 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.

 Verified Great way to spend time in Port Isaac.
We had a fantastic time with our guide Mike on the Doc Martin Walking tour. He was an extra on the show ( and also in the PBS Masterpiece new version of Poldark!). so had lots of inside tips to share, We enjoyed wandering around the village and seeing so many of the filming locations and several more places unique to Port Isaac. So much fun! Great way to spend time in Port Isaac. Thanks Mike!

 Verified Good value with great driver/ guide
We really enjoyed the Clarkson’s Farm Small Group Tour from the Cotswolds. It was great to see the key filming locations, and our driver‑guide, Martin, was both entertaining and highly knowledgeable, which made the journey genuinely engaging. Diddly Squat Farm itself is not particularly worth the long queues, but it was still good to see, and Martin’s commentary along the way made the visit feel worthwhile. The stops at The Farmer’s Dog site and Hawkstone Brewery were both excellent and added real value to the day. Overall, a very enjoyable tour with a driver who brought the whole experience to life.

 Verified Fantastic tour - make sure you can keep pace!
Myself and my teenage son took part on this tour with our esteemed tour guide, Bill, and a number of other Whovian types (about 20 of us). It really was a whistle-stop tour of a lot of Who filming sites around Cardiff, packed with random bits of information and laughs with locals along the way. Starting at Cardiff Castle and doing a large loop to end up back at the National Museum, via Principality Stadium, Cardiff Station, many shopping streets and St John the Baptist Church, there were a lot of episodes and plenty of Whovian lore to cover! A couple of hours very well spent at a very reasonable cost for tickets but do bear in mind that the pace is quite quick - I think we lost at least one person on our tour at some point who was unable to keep up, so do make sure you are fit and able to join this walking tour. More than happy to recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Doctor Who. Great fun!

 Verified An exceptional Gavin & Stacey Tour!
This was a brilliant tour from start to finish. Our guide Terri was so entertaining and knowledgeable, having been a chaperone to younger cast members on the final episode. She had also been an extra on an earlier episode. Our Dave, (actually Levi), drove the original coach expertly over challenging hills and narrow lanes. We visited so many locations that feature in the classic series. The tour represents very good value for money in terms of what you get.

 Verified Tidy!
Really didn't know what to expect from this tour - 3 of us are big fans and the 4th, my husband, has seen a few episodes. All of us absolutely loved it! We were really lucky to have Terri as our guide and Dave (Damian) as our driver as they absolutely made it for us. We learned loads with lots of insider info and the destinations were amazing. We were also really lucky to meet Glenda who owns Gwens house, and it was her birthday so even more special!! There really is something for everyone regardless of whether you are a massive fan or not and we highly recommend it, and if you end up with Terri and Damian then that is the icing on the cake!
