'Coronation Street' tours are set to return in March.
Coronation Street tours are restarting
A two-year-hiatus has been in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but fans of the long-running soap will soon be able to visit the set once again.
Steve Masters, the general manager of Continuum Attractions, the firm that runs the tour, said: "Even with all the drama unfolding on our screens over the last couple of years, those cobbles haven’t half been quiet and we’ve missed sharing them with all our guests!
"But, it’s going to be well worth the wait and we look forward to welcoming our first guests back on the street next month."
The tour lasts 90 minutes and allows fans to go behind-the-scenes of the iconic soap, as they visit landmarks such as the Rovers Return and Roy Cropper's cafe.
Organisers have confirmed that new bookings can be made from March 12 onwards.
Last year, Queen Elizabeth visited the set of 'Coronation Street' to help celebrate the soap's diamond jubilee.
The 95-year-old monarch was given a tour of the studios, which included a visit to the Rovers Return pub.
The queen met a number of cast members during her visit, including Bill Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, and she praised them for keeping the soap going amid the COVID-19 crisis.
She said: "It's really marvellous you've been able to carry on."
In response, Bill quipped: "Well, ma'am, you're the one who has carried on."
The monarch - who previously visited 'Coronation Street' in 1982, at its original studios in Manchester - also shared a joke with Kate Spencer, who played Grace Vickers.
During a chat about the show's famous cobbled streets, Kate said: "[They're] hard to walk on."
The queen then looked down at her shoes and replied: "No, I know. I've been told. Probably better not."
