Price of walking tour (in old money): £7 (£6).
Bring: Albert Tatlock’s glasses.
Can we get into the set? The old Granada set opens in April. Please contact them for access. Our tour does not include a tour of the old set, but it will add so much to your day to do our locations tours before or after.
