Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can reschedule your booking if it’s more than 48 hours before your visit and the tickets were purchased directly through our website. A £10 administration fee will apply if you choose to reschedule. Please visit Manage My Booking to reschedule your booking. 

Please note, we’re unable to reschedule bookings within 48 hours of your visit.

We recommend guests use LS17 9LQ as this will bring you straight to Harewood Approach where you’ll find the main archway entrance, just off the A61.

If you’ve not received your confirmation, please email info@emmerdalevillagetour.co.uk with as many booking details as possible (name on booking, booking reference number and the date/time) for us to look into this for you. Please allow 72 hours for our team to respond.

Please ensure you check your junk mail, as occasionally email confirmations may appear in here. To prevent this from happening, we recommend you add info@emmerdalevillagetour.co.uk to your safe senders list, if possible.

There are some uneven surfaces on the tour that might be challenging for wheelchair users. The 90-minute outdoor tour covers rough terrain, gradients, slopes and grass.

Wheelchair users are advised to utilise sturdy, thick-wheeled chairs due to the uneven ground on the site. We do suggest that manual wheelchair users are likely to need to bring a personal assistant with them as a result of the uneven terrain, and guests who use either a wheelchair or a mobility scooter would need to be capable of passing through a standard door opening. Assistance in manoeuvring any wheelchairs or mobility scooters cannot be provided by tour staff.

Please see our accessibility page for full details.

Guided Tour:

  • The Emmerdale Village Guided Tour tickets are available on weekends and bank holidays only.
  • Involves a guided tour of the show’s external set as well as transport to and from our designated meeting point. 
  • There is no opportunity to meet a member of the cast at the end of your Emmerdale Village.

Star Tours:

  • The Emmerdale Village Star Tours are available on select weekends.
  • Includes a meet and greet with a cast member, a guided tour of the show’s external set, as well as transport to and from our designated meeting point.

Please note that we do not offer tours of the show’s interior sets.

Whilst we welcome children, the visit lasts approximately 3 hours, which includes a 90-minute, fully-guided tour with around 5,000 steps. Therefore, you may wish to consider whether the tour is suitable for your children.

We only allow assistance dogs on the tour.

While we don’t have a full café, we do serve hot and cold drinks along with a range of grab-and-go snacks to keep you refreshed during your visit. For something more substantial, there are great places to eat at Harewood House or within the local area.

We also have a fantastic gift shop where you can browse our range of official Emmerdale merchandise, unique gifts and memorabilia. Unfortunately, we are unable to send any of the items in the gift shop by post. You can also visit the Emmerdale section of the official ITV Shop to see our tote bags, aprons and reusable cups – as seen on TV.

Unfortunately, due to interior filming taking place at a different location, we’re unable to show you inside the studios. We do however often take guests inside the church interior set. This is not guaranteed and is subject to filming requirements.

The tour can be enjoyed in most weather conditions. However, in rare cases of extreme weather, such as heavy snow or ice, we may adjust, postpone, or cancel tours for safety reasons. If this happens, guests will be promptly informed of alternative arrangements, such as rescheduling or refunds.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear suitable footwear for uneven surfaces. We recommend umbrellas and raincoats for rain, warm clothing for snow or cold, and sunscreen and hats for sunny conditions.

Please note that, as this is a working rural environment, sometimes there may be grass cutting nearby. If you suffer from hay fever or seasonal allergies, we suggest taking antihistamines or other suitable medication before your visit.

Our tour groups are limited to a maximum of 50 people. This ensures a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests.
