The Game of Thrones Studio Tour opened to the public in 2022: located at the original filming site of the acclaimed series at Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, the Game of Thrones Studio Tour will transport fans to the heart of Westeros to admire breathtaking imagery, immersive sets, original props, costumes, and other behind-the-scenes elements from HBO’s hit series. Tickets and gift experiences for the highly anticipated Game of Thrones Studio Tour are available on the website www.gameofthronesstudiotour.com.
The brand-new interactive experience, spanning over 10,000 square meters, will allow fans to explore a wide range of original sets, costumes, props, and set pieces, bringing visitors closer than ever to the Seven Kingdoms. Fans will be able to step into the iconic Great Hall of Winterfell, where Jon Snow was proclaimed “King in the North,” see Daenerys Targaryen’s imposing Dragonstone throne, get a close-up look at incredible props, weapons, and visual effects from Game of Thrones, and learn more about the craftsmanship and artisans who helped bring the show to life on screen. The immersive and sensory experience uses cutting-edge design and technology to bring Westeros to life, evoking the epic geography of the show: King’s Landing, Winterfell, Dragonstone, The Wall, and beyond.
Peter van Roden, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment, said: “We are incredibly excited to open the doors to the first Game of Thrones Studio Tour at Linen Mill Studios. Knowing you are standing in the very place where some of the most memorable moments of the series were filmed is an amazing feeling, and we are confident that fans of the franchise will feel the same when they see up close the rich details of the sets, costumes, and props.”
Andrew Webb and David Browne, Executive Directors of Linen Mill Studios, stated: “This incredible and unique experience is set to bring the making of the show to life like never before, and we can’t wait to welcome fans and local and international visitors when we open the doors of the Studio Tour, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the Game of Thrones story here in Northern Ireland. After many years of an off-limits film studio, it’s now time for fans from around the world to step into the Seven Kingdoms and embark on their own personal journey through the world of Westeros at Linen Mill Studios.”
Niall Gibbons, Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, commented: “We are really excited about the opening of the Game of Thrones Studio Tour at Linen Mill Studios, which will give fans of the show around the world even more reason to book a trip to Northern Ireland in 2022 and beyond. Over the past decade, Northern Ireland has welcomed fans from around the globe to the ‘real’ Westeros, where the stunning landscapes, coastlines, and mountains have featured in some of the most memorable scenes from the series. Just a short distance from Dublin and Belfast, the new Game of Thrones Studio Tour will offer fans a fantastic opportunity to go behind the scenes and immerse themselves in the sets, props, and costumes used in the series. It will vividly bring the Seven Kingdoms to life, in the place where it all began.”
