Visitors will be able to walk around the sets
Game of Thrones fans are in for a treat next spring, when The Game of Thrones Studio Tour opens doors in Northern Ireland - offering an immersive Seven Kingdoms experience comprising breathtaking imagery, captivating sets, original props and costumes, and other behind-the-scenes items from the hit HBO series.
Sets will include Dragonstone’s Throne Room and Map Room, Castle Black’s Mess Room, Cersei’s Courtyard in King’s Landing, and even inside Winterfell itself.
The move is expected to create hundreds of jobs and bring in millions of pounds annually for the local economy.
The creators of the tour described it as a “sensory and immersive” experience.
Jeff Peters, vice-president of licensing and retail at HBO, said: “It is our sincere pleasure to announce the first attraction from the Game Of Thrones Legacy project in Northern Ireland.
“Some of the most iconic scenes from Game Of Thrones were filmed at Linen Mill Studios and our fans will soon have an opportunity to visit and see the work of the show’s incredible crew in the museum setting it deserves.”
Andrew Webb, managing director at Linen Mill Studios, added: “Linen Mill Studios is thrilled, in partnership with HBO, to have this opportunity to offer fans a unique insight into the making of the Game Of Thrones series in the authentic setting of one of its foremost filming locations.
“We are committed to giving fans the opportunity to experience firsthand the most comprehensive selection of iconic elements from the show available anywhere in the world.
