A Journey to Westeros and Beyond
Nestled in the picturesque Linen Mill Studios, the Game of Thrones Studio Tour is not just a tour; it's an invitation to explore the very heart of the Seven Kingdoms.

Martin's world and book series to life.
As you step through the doors, prepare to be whisked away on an adventure through the meticulously recreated sets.

It's a hands-on history lesson for the kids without them realising they're learning!
Interactive & Educational Fun

Kids and adults alike can engage with the dynamic exhibits that explain the complex processes of set construction, costume design, and visual effects. It's a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes magic that turns fantasy into television reality.
As soon as you step into the cold and chilly North, you'll crane your neck as you face the giant Wun-Wun! Not only that, but you'll find Widlings, White Walkers and the Night King. You'll wander around and admire the behind-the-scenes features, from the earliest concepts to the jaw-dropping final cuts of the iconic show. Not to mention the expansive collection of iconic costumes! Venture into King's Landing and Winterfell and discover a wide range of authentic collections of sets, costume props, and genuine set pieces! There is also a collection of costumes, from Sansa's wedding dress and weapons to Jon's winter furs, and you'll get to witness first-hand the intricate detail that went into creating these pieces.
Young aspiring knights and princesses can learn about the artistry behind medieval-like armour and intricate gowns. Or find Daenerys Targaryen's dragonstone throne and discover the intricate detail in the Hall of Faces! Psst...you can also test your own acting skills in front of a green screen with visual and special effects.

Why We Think The Game of Thrones Studio Tour Is a Must-Visit
The Game of Thrones Studio Tour offers a rich, engaging experience combining education and entertainment. It's a chance to explore one of the most famous fantasy worlds ever created. The epic experience celebrates the series and the incredible talent and skill that went into its production, making it an inspirational visit for all.
So, whether you're a family of seasoned Game of Thrones fans or newcomers to the saga, the Studio Tour promises a day out that's as educational as it is exciting. Delve into a world of fantasy, fun, and adventure, and create lasting memories that, much like the series, will stand the test of time.
"Can't rate this highly enough. This is absolutely world-class nerd-out if you're even vaguely interested in Game of Thrones. I don't think there's anything like this for other movies or TV series - all the costumes, swords, sets, explanation you could want and the guides have great background information that's not in the audio guide or signage. Cafe and restaurant aren't excessively expensive given that it's a captive audience and strangely it's licensed to serve alcohol. Well-stocked souvenir shop." - Stephen
