Christmas on the Cobbles & Manchester Christmas Markets

Calling all Coronation Street fans! You may have been lucky enough to have walked the cobbles of the original Coronation Street set, where over 50 years of TV history were made, before it closed for good. The show moved to its new home in MediaCityUK on Salford Quays, Manchester in 2014, where the terraced street was painstakingly recreated (albeit with several subtle tweaks to accommodate the demands of high definition TV)! Britain’s most famous street has opened the doors to its new home, giving visitors the chance to enjoy a fully guided tour of the outdoor sets, including a walk down the cobbles, past landmarks such as the Rovers Return. We combine this with a visit to Manchester’s magical, award-winning Christmas Markets, a wonderful way to get into the festive spirit.

Overnight Manchester Christmas Market Break with Coronation Street Set Tour

Day 1
From a pickup in your local area, our coach takes us to Manchester. Upon arrival in the mid-afternoon, we can soak up the wonderful festive atmosphere and admire the bright Christmas lights at the city’s Christmas Markets. Packed with gifts, clothes, food and drink, jewellery and more, take the chance to start your Christmas shopping or simply take in the atmosphere and the variety of offerings. Enjoy a spot of dinner at the market or one of the city’s many eateries, before we travel by coach to our hotel for check in and our overnight stay.

Day 2
After breakfast at the hotel, we check out and head to Coronation Street’s home in MediaCityUK on Salford Quays. We enjoy a guided tour of the external sets, taking in Coronation Street (walking down the cobbles, past iconic landmarks such as the Rovers Return and The Kabin), Rosamund Street and the newly extended Victoria Street. Listen to stories from yesteryear, hear filming secrets, take a selfie on the street and walk in the footsteps of your favourite characters. We rejoin the coach for the journey home in the afternoon.
