Agents urged to push new Coronation Street packages

National Holidays is urging agents to promote coach breaks including a revamped Coronation Street tour.

The tour of the soap set in Manchester is changing from June 11.

A new exhibition centre is being introduced, including the chance to step into replica interior sets such as the Rovers Return and Roy’s Rolls, see original props and costumes.

A cinema, cafe and shop featuring Corrie souvenirs are also new, while guided tours will also include access to sets such as the Weatherfield precinct at MediaCityUK.

National Holidays trade sales manager Claire Dutton said: Our breaks to see the Coronation Street set have always been hugely popular and now they are about to get even bigger and better than ever before. 

“I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience for many to see inside Roy’s Rolls, stand behind the bar in the Rovers Return or grab a peek at Deirdre’s iconic glasses up close. 

“Agents in our pickup catchment areas should use all their marketing channels to push this out as there really has never been a better time to go.”

Two-day breaks start at £149 per person, departing on selected Saturdays in July, August and October.

Prices includes return coach travel from a range of pick-up points in the north-east, Yorkshire and the Midlands, one night’s accommodation with breakfast and dinner, admission to the ITV Coronation City Experience and a visit to Liverpool.
