ITV Coronation Street launching tours where fans can meet the stars

ITV's beloved Coronation Street is launching new tours that'll allow fans to meet the stars of the cobbles.

Coronation Street The Tour has announced a series of 'Star Tours' will launch from next month, giving guests the opportunity to meet members of the cast as they explore behind the scenes of the nation's famous street. Bosses of the official guided tours are keeping names of the cast appearing on the tours close to their chest, though ticket holders can expect to be pleasantly surprised.

It's believed cast members who pop out to say hello will also pose for photos and regale guests with a few filming secrets and behind the scenes tales. The phenomenally popular soap began airing in 1960 and has bagged numerous awards over its decades on the nation's television screens.

Steve Masters, general manager at Coronation Street The Tour said: "Taking a tour of Coronation Street is a real treat for many fans and we often hear guests talking about their favourite characters and storylines from the show. With the launch of our new Star Tours - and the first of the series taking place in just a few weeks - guests now have the chance to meet someone from the show and we can't wait to see their faces."

The first Star Tour will take place on Saturday, July 16 with limited tickets available to book between 2pm and 5pm, priced at £40. Tickets for Saturday, August 20 and Saturday, September 3 are also now on sale with Star Tour tickets, subject to availability.

Star Tours will include the standard 90 minute guided tour of the external Coronation Street set, as well as an opportunity to meet a surprise cast member. Coronation Street airs on ITV.
