Game of Thrones: Come Back to Westeros—The Studio Tour is Live!
Ever dreamt of walking where the Lords of the North held court? Want the real Longclaw sword in your hands? Or the wedding dress Sansa had on her big day? Now’s your chance. The Game of Thrones Studio Tour in BANBRIDGE, Northern Ireland, is open, and it’s a feast for every fan.
What’s in the Box (or, rather, the Studio)
- All the sets you’ve seen on screen—Winterfell’s Great Hall, King’s Landing, and Dragonstone.
- Props that made those epic moments real, like Jon Snow’s legendary sword and Sansa’s wedding gown.
- Interactive zones where you can swing your own replica sword or pose in a throne‑room backdrop.
“Fans are going to be over the moon,” says Ian Beattie, who played Meryn Trant. “Everything here is what was in the show—real sets, real costumes, real swords. In the series you’d never really see all the insanely detailed work, but now you get the full backstage scoop.”
Why It Matters
The tour spans a massive 110,000‑square‑foot area (about 10,000 square metres) and gives a peek into the world built from George R. R. Martin’s epic novel A Song of Ice and Fire. Game of Thrones, which aired from 2011 to 2019, racked up millions of fans worldwide and left a permanent mark on television history.
Now, with “House of the Dragon”—the 200‑year‑ahead prequel—hurriedly arriving this year, the studio keeps the excitement alive.
Tour Trivia
- Opening day: Friday, 4 Feb.
- Legendary actor Daniel Porter (Podrick Payne) commented, “It was such an iconic thing; it altered TV forever. I hope people keep loving the series for years to come.”
Drop by, walk the halls where dragons once flew, and grab your very own piece of Westeros. It’s a snapshot of the past, a vibe for the present, and a portal to the next saga—all wrapped in one unforgettable tour.
