Half Term Family Road Trip

real-mary-kings-close-edinburgh-attraction

Our parent company, Continuum Attractions, operates a number of other attractions in different cities across the UK. In each of the attractions, we strive to offer an engaging, fun and educational experience that brings British culture and history to life. Our own Edinburgh attraction takes you on a tour of the old town’s underbelly of crime and poverty, whilst showing you how people lived during the seventeenth century. The Real Mary King’s Close is a must for history buffs of all ages, but Edinburgh isn’t the only place where you can delve into the past. This February half term, why not enjoy a tour of some of Britain’s favourite cities for a staycation the whole family will love. Whether you start or finish in Edinburgh, we’re sure you will have a fun road trip!

Coronation-Street-Tour

What else will you see around Britain?

For a limited time only, you can step onto the cobbles of one of Britain’s best loved streets for a behind the scenes tour filled with intriguing stories. ‘Coronation Street’ has been on air for over 50 years making it the longest running soap opera in the history of TV, featuring many different families over the years. The likes of Ena Sharples and Annie Walker are unlikely to ever be seen again, but now is the last chance to follow in their footsteps as the Coronation Street set has relocated to Salford.  Take a mosey around the set and see where Ken and Deirdre lived, visit the Rovers for a pint and check out the railway bridge—scene of the great train crash when the series was still in black and white.

Planning a Tour

Just two hours from Manchester and the Coronation Street tour you will find the beautiful town of York. If your family have a sweet tooth then step into the indulgent world of York’s Chocolate Story. If you plan on heading further south, you can easily take in three attractions in a few days with our historic Canterbury Tales and Kent Life attractions, before heading on to explore Oxford Castle.

With so much choice, it can be difficult to decide what to do! However, don’t forget that at The Real Mary King’s Close, we are offering a fantastic family deal for just £37.50 (2 adults and 2 children)  – just click here to book in advance. Our attraction isn’t suitable for under 5’s but we’re sure even your grumpy teenagers will be intrigued by life in Edinburgh’s hidden streets!
