Is Rovers Return pub on Coronation Street real and can you go inside on the tour?
Are you Coronation Street's biggest fan? The ITV soap offers fans a chance to explore the real set but you might wonder whether you can go inside the iconic Rovers Return and Roy's Rolls.
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.
