Hollyoaks set tours return with a new stop and cast appearances

Hollyoaks set tours return to Liverpool from Saturday 10 October 2026, giving fans another chance to explore the working village at Lime Pictures. Running on selected Saturdays through autumn and winter, the latest season adds a set not previously included on the tour route, while Star Tours feature appearances from two cast members.

Tickets are already on sale for the returning experience. For viewers curious about how Hollyoaks looks beyond the television screen, the guided visits offer a closer look at its filming locations and the work that brings the village to life.

Where is Hollyoaks filmed?

Hollyoaks may be set in a fictional village in the Chester area, but its main filming home is in Childwall, south Liverpool. The production base is Lime Pictures at Campus Manor on Childwall Abbey Road, Liverpool, L16 0JP.

That is the destination to use when planning a set tour. Chester has its own connections to the programme, but the working village visitors can explore is at the Liverpool studios.

What is new on the Hollyoaks tour?

Lime Pictures has confirmed that an additional set will join the autumn and winter route. The announcement does not identify it, so returning visitors have something new to discover without the surprise being revealed in advance.

Guides will lead fans through the village’s filming locations and share information about production. The announcement does not provide a full list of individual stops, so check the description for your chosen session before booking around a particular location.

How much are Hollyoaks set tour tickets?

As checked on 13 September 2026, a standard ticket costs £40 plus a £1.50 booking fee, bringing the total to £41.50. A Star Tour ticket costs £55 plus a £1.75 booking fee, totalling £56.75.

Star Tours include appearances from two Hollyoaks cast members. The listed prices apply to visitors aged two and over, while under-twos enter free with an accompanying parent or guardian holding the appropriate full-price ticket.

How to get to the Hollyoaks studios

For your booked visit, head to Campus Manor, Childwall Abbey Road, Liverpool, L16 0JP. Keep the arrival information supplied with your tickets handy so you can follow the correct entrance instructions.

If travelling into Liverpool by train, plan an onward bus or taxi journey to Childwall. Enter the studio address into the Merseytravel journey planner to check connections from your arrival station, including the walk from your final stop.

Parking, including accessible parking, is available on site for tour guests. Organisers ask visitors to arrive no more than 30 minutes before their session, with security directing drivers to the parking area.

The gift shop, café and access arrangements

Visitors can browse official Hollyoaks merchandise, with new items announced for the autumn and winter season. A small café also serves hot and cold drinks and snacks.

Accessible toilets are available, and guests should note specific access requirements when booking. The official ticket page includes carer-ticket options and further information to help plan the visit.

What else is nearby in Childwall?

Childwall Woods and Fields offers a woodland and grassland walk if you want some time outdoors around your tour. The local nature reserve gives visitors a chance to explore the area surrounding the soap’s production home.

Another nearby landmark is All Saints’ Church on Childwall Abbey Road, described by Historic England as Liverpool’s only remaining medieval church. Both are separate places to explore locally, rather than advertised parts of the Hollyoaks tour.

Chester locations Hollyoaks fans may recognise

If you are also planning time in Chester, the city has several real filming locations to explore. Visit Chester & Cheshire identifies The Groves beside the River Dee, the Cross and Bridge Street among places used for exterior scenes, while the Eastgate Clock appeared in Hollyoaks Later.

Chester Town Hall has a particularly memorable connection as the setting for Ste and James’s wedding. These locations offer an optional extension to the Liverpool visit, taking fans from the studio village to streets and buildings that have appeared in the programme.
