What to see at the Emmerdale Studio Experience
The studio experience is a 1,300m² (14,000 sq ft) attraction housed inside ITV’s Burley Road Studios.
The Emmerdale Studio Experience is located in the old studios where the show was originally filmed.
Although the show is now filmed in a different studio, the Emmerdale Studio Experience is an exact replica of the original set. Visitors can see the individual sets where the show was filmed including the interior of the Woolpack. There are also some interactive features where visitors can play with the on-set lighting.
The attraction also includes a quarter-size replica of the Emmerdale village set.
What to see at the Emmerdale Village Tour
The television show’s outdoor scenes are filmed in a village set near Harewood House north of Leeds. You will need to take this tour if you want to see the village at full size.
This tour includes a 90-minute guided tour of the outdoor areas of the television set, which allows you to see the exterior set of Cafe Mainstreet, David’s Shop and The Woolpack.
Visiting the Emmerdale Studio Experience
The Emmerdale Studio Experience is located at ITV’s studio complex on Burley Road, just a short walk west from Leeds city centre. The studio complex is a 20-minute walk from Leeds railway station or a six-minute bus ride from The Headrow.
The tour is wheelchair accessible but there is only space for one wheelchair user per tour.
There is a cafe and a gift shop in the studio complex.
A visit to the Emmerdale Studio Experience is by a 90-minute guided tour, but visitors should allow around two hours for their visit.
The Emmerdale Village Tour
The tour departs from the Burley Road Studios complex where visitors take a coach transfer to the outdoor film set near Harewood House around 13km (8 miles) north of Leeds.
It is not possible to visit the village independently as the village set is a closed site that is accessible only to visitors on the tour and people working on the television programme.
Tours only operate on selected weekends.
Like the Emmerdale Studio Experience, the Village Tour is a 90-minute tour, however, you should allow around 3½ hours for the full Emmerdale Village Tour experience including return coach transfers from the Burley Road Studios.
