FAQs

The Emmerdale Village Tour is BACK! Escape to the 'Yorkshire Dales' and go behind the scenes of your favourite soap.

Why is there an additional £2 charge for Harewood and what is this for?



Emmerdale is filmed deep within the Harewood Estate.

To gain access to the film set location, we run a park and ride service from the Harewood House visitor car park.

Our park and ride service with Harewood costs just £2pp and whilst it is obligatory, it offers our guests access to the grounds, gardens, café and facilities either before and/or after your tour. Please note, this charge includes access to Harewood's grounds and gardens, but not into the house. Some of the other chargeable activities are also not included. Tickets for the House can be purchased on the day of your visit at the House Door 

Please note: The Harewood Trust is a charity, so all contributions made go towards a range of projects, whether that be vital conservation and maintenance work to preserve the historic fabric of the house; work to develop and maintain the expansive grounds, gardens and facilities, or to support of their education and community programmes. Your support helps to ensure Harewood is here for the long-term enjoyment of all visitors. Registered Charity Number 517753


 

Can I pay with Cash in the Village?


We do not accept cash.
If you’re wanting to purchase a refreshment on your visit or even grab one of David’s Shop Bags, we are no longer accepting cash so be sure to bring a credit or debit card with you.

Why doesn’t the Emmerdale Village Tour coach depart from Harewood throughout the year?


Due to a number of large events taking place at Harewood House including a food festival, classic car show and VW Festival, guest parking for the Emmerdale Village Tour is not possible on a consistent basis.

As a result, coaches on those dates will depart from Weetwood Hall Hotel. Please be aware a 50p per person levy will be added to the cost of your tour ticket price. This small charge covers parking and use of the restrooms. Furthermore, to ensure you do not incur any additional parking charges on the day of your visit, you will be required to enter your vehicle registration at one of the 12 terminals situated around the hotel in order to receive a virtual permit.

What are you doing on sustainability?

We are committed to making the tour sustainable and operate in accordance with our Sustainability Policy and Responsible Sourcing Policy. Highlights include providing British Sign Language tours, supporting local businesses and operating controls to ensure supply chain operations are respectful of human rights.

How long is the tour / visit?

Please allow approximately 3 hours for your visit.

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.
