Is Rovers Return pub on Coronation Street real and can you go inside on the tour?
Whether you've been a fan for years or you're new to the cobbles, you can be like one of the stars for a day and explore the iconic street.
Would you like to experience the fictional town of Weatherfield first hand? Here's everything you need to know about the soap's set.
The pub is not a real working pub and is only used for filming the TV show.
The Coronation Street tour's website explained: 'The Rovers Return located on Coronation Street is a façade and does not contain any internal set dressing, as the real interior sets are located within a secure studio complex and not accessible to guests.
'However, within the Coronation Street Experience, you are able to enjoy the 'Rovers Return' and 'Roy's Rolls' replica sets.'
Coronation Street fans can explore Rovers Return on the set tour and even pretend to pull a pint from behind the bar at the replica set.
Fans can enter the pub and ring the same bell that Corrie icons Bet Lynch and Liz McDonald rang.
The soap tour encourages fans to take plenty of pictures of their experience and create memories on the set.
The tour's website adds: 'Coronation Street Exhibition offers an exclusive opportunity to venture beyond the cobbles and into the heart of the drama.
'Prepare to be awestruck as you step into meticulously crafted replica sets of iconic landmarks like Roy's Rolls and the legendary Rovers Return.
'You'll find a fascinating display of costumes and props that have become part of Coronation Street's legacy – including Deirdre Barlow's iconic glasses!'
Fans can even book to meet one of the soap's characters while touring the set.

'Ridley' Season Three: The Possible Returning Cast And Release Date
Season 2 of ITV's Ridley is still ongoing and while we're just at the halfway point of the gritty crime drama, we wouldn't blame you for already wondering if a third season is on the cards. Since the release of the second series on 10 August, the show has claimed its place at the top of every British detective fan's watchlist – joining the ranks of Dept Q, Slow Horses and The Day of the Jackal. But, as the season edges ever closer to its finale, fans have been left with one burning question: will Ridley continue to take over our screens with another thrilling chapter? With the show's mix of slow-burn excellence, high tension and complex characters, there's no doubt that the series has potential for more. Here's everything we know about the potential return of Ridley. As it currently stands, ITV has not yet confirmed whether there will be a third season of Ridley. However, during a recent interview with Country & Town House, Bronagh Waugh, who stars as DI Carol Farman, stated the following: 'There are plenty of [plot] ideas if we are lucky enough to get a third series.' Waugh also went on to add what she'd like the potential third season to cover. 'I think it would be really interesting to keep delving into the detectives' private lives as well as the cases,' she said. 'So let's see what happens…' Of course, Ridley wouldn't be the same without its titular character Alex Ridley, who is played by Adrian Dunbar. Therefore, if a third season is on the cards, there's no doubt that he'll be back, so long as there are no conflicts in Dunbar's schedule. Alongside him, viewers would also expect to see the return of Bronagh Waugh (DI Carol Farman), Georgie Glen (Dr. Wendy Newstone), Terence Maynard (DCI Paul Goodwin) and George Bukhari (DC Darren Lakhan). As nothing has yet been confirmed, the possible release date is unknown – but given that season one first premiered in the UK in August 2022, and the second season was released in August 2025, the third season would likely premiere in August 2028.
