Top Tips for Visiting the Emmerdale Village Tour
27th Aug 2026
Whether you’ve been watching Emmerdale for years or you’re discovering the village for the first time, the Emmerdale Village Tour offers a unique opportunity to stand exactly where the drama unfolds. We’ve added some tips below to help you get the most from your visit:
1. Bring your camera
There are plenty of memorable photo opportunities around the set, so make sure your phone or camera has plenty of charge to snap all of those selfies.
2. Book Early
Our number one tip is to book your tickets in advance. Popular dates and times can fill up, and walk-in admission isn’t guaranteed so, make sure you lock in your dates in advance to avoid disappointment.
3. Arrive early
Aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled Emmerdale Village Tour. You’ll be travelling via coach from Harewood House so this allows for a smooth check in and boarding process so, your coach can leave on time.
4. Wear comfortable shoes
The Emmerdale Village Tour operates around an outdoor set where walking is required, to help you enjoy your tour we recommend comfortable footwear.
5. Keep an eye on your emails
Because the Emmerdale Village Tour operates alongside a live TV production site, production requirements can occasionally lead to changes. Check your emails before travelling so you have the latest information about your visit.
6. Upgrade to a Star Tour
If you’re looking to make your day even more special, why not upgrade your visit to a Star Tour? Enjoy a guided tour of the real Emmerdale external set, with the extra thrill of meeting a mystery cast member, you never know who could turn up in The Dales!
