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. If visiting the Coronation Street set is on your bucket list, here's how you can visit it.

'Missing' Coronation Street character returns next week after fans left concerned
This article contains spoilers for Coronation Street. Coronation Street fans have been left concerned about the whereabouts of Gary Windass recently (played by Mikey North), but fear not, he's back in Weatherfield. It comes as the Corrie favourite was last spotted on the cobbles back in January, around the time Mason Radcliffe's death storyline aired on the longest-running UK soap. Yet after weeks of ITV viewers asking where he is, as he's 'not been on screen for months', and fans not recalling any mentions of the star since, it appears a new plot is on the horizon for Gary and wife Maria Connor. Next week: Carl makes a move on Abi, Maria fears Mick is bad news and Daisy says goodbye to Weatherfield. Read more here: — Coronation Street (@itvcorrie) April 21, 2025 Over the past few days, Corrie fans have been asking on X where the character has disappeared to, as someone questioned: '@itvcorrie where's Gary Windass he's not been on screen for mths has he left?' Another also wondered: 'Has Gary Windass left the show?' This person posted: 'Where is Gary Windass? Really need his storyline in #Corrie #Coronationstreet.' One ITV viewer said: 'Gary Windass would knock Mick into next week. Where is Gary btw? He hasn't been on screen for ages? #Corrie.' A confused X user shared: 'Right where have cast members disappeared to -for example where the hell is Gary Windass and we barely see Mariah either? And while we are at it, what happend to the Trim Up North barbers? Have I missed something?' This person also asked the Corrie account on social media: 'any chance we see gary windass appear in the near future? cheers.' However, spoilers for the soap next week have revealed Gary 'shocks' his wife Maria when he announces his plans to buy another local business. While in Roy's Rolls, he confesses to Maria that sales are slow at the furniture shop and he's thinking of selling up and using the money to buy the builder's yard, Digital Spy reports. A Coronation Street insider told the publisher: 'While Gary is wrapped up in his dream, Maria is thinking more sensibly. 'She knows they have Liam to think about and can't afford to make silly decisions that could destroy their financial stability. "Yet, Gary's got itchy feet and misses the builder's yard he used to manage, so he won't let an opportunity to own it for himself slide.' But soon after, villain Mick Michaelis urges Gary to go ahead with the plans – Maria then comes across the pair having a 'celebratory drink' in the Bistro – but what are they toasting to?

"After the trouble she's had with his feisty other half, Lou, the couple aren't in her good books, and she thinks it's a mistake for Gary to trust him." Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV1 and ITVX.
