      About this trip

      Live your Coronation Street dream, and join us on this exciting trip to Northern England. 


      Walk on the actual cobbled streets of Weatherfield and be on the current working sets of Coronation Street at ITV Studios in Manchester, UK. Personally meet and chat with many of the actors, and possibly even watch an actual taping ! Imagine coming back home and watching that episode on TV knowing you were there when it was filmed ! 


      Venture inside the Rovers Return and sit in a booth,  lean on the counter at The Bistro and sit in the not so comfy chair at Streetcars ! You will see all of the current sets.


      We will also be spending a full day in Liverpool, focusing on the lives and history of the famous FabFour ,with included guided coach tour and entrance to The Beatles Story.


      Another full day in the beautiful walled Roman City of Chester with its famous ROWS and excellent shopping - a favourite on all our past tours. Join our expert Tour Manager and Guide for a walking tour of this enthralling city, steeped in charm and history.


      Blackpool and the famous Blackpool Illuminations and entrance ticket to the Blackpool Tower round out this exhilarating week. The Illuminations are switched on at the end of August and run until November. Take a ride on one of the many illuminated buses and trams, enjoy some fun at Pleasure Beach, take a whirl on the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom dance floor as the white organ ascends !  A day full of spectacular sights and sounds.

      Itinerary

      WELCOME to MANCHESTER
      Day 1 - MONDAY: Check In and Welcome Reception

      Plan your flights to arrive in Manchester by early afternoon on Day 1. 

      You can fly directly into Manchester via Heathrow, or you might choose to take a relatively short and inexpensive train journey up from London. Rooms will be available for check in by 3 PM at the latest. Some rooms may be available a little earlier.


      As you will no doubt be tired from travelling, no group dinner is planned for this evening, but we will be looking forward to meeting everyone at our WELCOME RECEPTION in the hotel from 4-6PM. Neville and Marilyn will be in the hotel lobby to greet you. 


      Chat with your fellow travellers, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine , beer or a soft drink and a few hors d`oeuvres, while Neville and Marilyn get to know you, hand out your name badges, and regale you with stories of all the fun and experiences that are sure to fill the next six days.


      Although you will no doubt be jet lagged , do try to stay up until at least 8PM to try and re-set your body clock and be ready to roll for an early full breakfast in the hotel.

      It was definately the trip of a lifetime! I enjoyed the many interesting and fun places we visited. The accommodations were wonderful with great food and fantastic staff. Coronation travel took amazing care that even the smallest of details were taken care of. I felt very safe and comfortable the entire trip. They even checked in with us after our flights home to make sure we were all home safe and sound. It was really like traveling with family. I would love to do it all again! Definately recommend traveling with coronation travel! Thank you for a fabulous trip.

      Had a great time from beginning to end! Comfortable and excellent location for the hotel. The day trips were all very good, and met so many wonderful people……And the tour of Coronation Street was amazing! I would definitely go on this trip again!
      By Kelly S for RETURN to the ROVER'S RETURN ! on Sep 16, 2023
      This trip was well organized with great attention to the details before and during the trip. Each day provided a new and interesting experience with a great balance between organized time and personal time where we explored on our own. The tour guides were knowledgeable and interesting and certainly provided insight into the areas that we visited such as, the Red Rec, Canal, Chester and the Lake District. The visit to the ITV studio was the highlight of the trip with an opportunity to not only tour the sets but also meet many of the actors on Coronation Street. The actors that we met were very welcoming and certainly added to the Coronation Street experience. Finally, both the tour organizer and the tour host were amazing. They were detailed in the organization of the tour, ensured that everyone was included and when a few challenges arose they were quick to provide solutions. A wonderful Trip!
