Yes, the Coronation Street Experience is fully accessible, but some areas of the cobbled set can be uneven and challenging for wheelchair and mobility scooter users.

Due to operational and safety considerations, certain accessibility arrangements may need to be managed in advance. Please see our accessibility page for full details.

Unfortunately, we do not have a secure space for guests to leave luggage or additional bags. We would recommend leaving these at your hotel, or if travelling by public transport, there are luggage facilities at Leeds Station.

Absolutely! The Coronation Street Experience is a fantastic family day out in Manchester, with plenty to keep younger visitors entertained... from iconic props and replica sets to hands-on photo opportunities like trying on Roy Cropper's famous apron or pulling a pint at the Rovers Return!

We recommend the experience for children aged 6 and above, as some archive content is best appreciated by older children and adult fans. Children under 4 go free, and keep an eye out for our Kids Go Free offers for ages 4-16, often running during half terms for even better value for families.
