ICONIC sets from the world’s long-running TV soap opera are being taken around the country by a York company.

Continuum Attractions is taking Coronation Street’s sets on tour, starting at the SECC in Glasgow from August 27.

A bespoke 2,000-square metre show dome - the biggest of its kind in the UK - will showcase iconic sets, props and costumes from the show.

The tour follows the success of Coronation Street The Tour in Manchester, which welcomed more than 850,000 visitors to the soap’s original Quay Street sets during its 18-month run.

Continuum chief executive Juliana Delaney said: “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to take Corrie on tour to allow more fans to get closer to their favourite television show.”

Coronation Street On Tour will subsequently relocate to Belfast next spring, subject to planning permission.
