FAQs

The Emmerdale Village Tour will return in 2021.

Why are we suspending Emmerdale Village tours? 

---

As a precautionary measure, and in line with our established contingency plans across the business, we will temporarily be pausing operation of our set tours to enable us to manage the footfall in these areas helping us to ensure we continue to produce these key ITV shows and for the safety and welfare of all our staff, production teams and guests.

What about Covid-19 (Coronavirus)?

We have been following government advice in terms of preventative measures on all our tours and sites (see below for more details). Temporarily pausing operation of our tours is an additional measure to help safeguard our staff and guests

As you plan your visit to us we want to assure you that we are actively monitoring the situation with regards to Covid-19 (coronavirus) and are reviewing and following the guidelines of Public Health England.

As always, the safety and wellbeing of you, our guests, and our team is our priority and we will take all necessary precautions to ensure everyone’s continued welfare. The advice from the health authorities has not changed, so our attractions are operating as normal and standard terms and conditions on bookings continue to apply.

However there are things we can do... read more about them here: a polite reassurance for our Guests.

PRE-COVID FAQs

Where can I park / nearest car park?

Your journey starts at The Emmerdale Studio, from where you will get our coach transfer to the closed set. There is limited street parking in the vicinity. If you are driving, we advise you use a car park for the duration of your stay.

Please allow approximately 3.5 hours for your visit. This will include your complimentary coach transfers to and from the meeting point at Emmerdale Studio.

Is the experience suitable for children? 

Although we welcome children, this is a 2-hour fully-guided tour and some of the footage from the show throughout the experience is taken from dramatic storylines in Emmerdale’s history. You therefore may want to consider whether the tour is suitable for your children. Regrettably, pushchairs are not allowed on the tour.

Is there anywhere I can leave my bags?

We’re sorry but there isn’t any secure space for guests to leave luggage or additional bags. We would recommend leaving these at your hotel or if you are travelling by public transport there are left luggage facilities at Leeds Train Station. Due to visiting working sets, there are strict security guidelines regarding bags which can be found here.

Will my bag be checked when I visit? 

For their safety and security, all visitors are admitted subject to a condition that, if requested to do so, they will allow themselves and/or their belongings to be searched before entry.

Can a wheelchair user still go on a tour? 

The 90-minute, outdoor tour covers rough terrain, gradients, slopes and grass. Manual wheelchair users may need to bring a personal asssitant with them. We have a small number of parking spaces available at the Village for those from whom coach travel will be difficult. For full details on eligibility please see our full access statement. Please note the tour can only accommodate one wheelchair user per tour so please call us before booking on 01904 261262 to check availability. You can find out more about accessibility here.

Can I hire a wheelchair for the tour? 

We do not offer wheelchair hire for the tour, but we are fully accessible for wheelchair users.

Can I bring my dog on the tour? 

Sorry, dogs are not allowed on the tour with the exception of registered guide dogs. If you wish to visit with an assistance dog, please ensure you have formal identification for the dog with you and email or call us in advance to let us know.
