While part of the studio interior scenes are filmed behind studio doors that are off-limits to the public, this is supported by full-sized replica sets of iconic set interiors such as Roy's Rolls and the Rovers Return Inn, where the audience can enter the show world much in the same way as they do when watching the show on their television screen.

The Coronation Street Experience provides the opportunity to get lost in the Weatherfield world.
