New £24million Game of Thrones attraction to open in the UK and it looks epic

Game of Thrones fans will be able to fully immerse themselves in the Seven Kingdoms thanks to a new £24million themed attraction coming to the UK.

Visitors will be able to wander through the show’s iconic sets including Dragonstone’s Throne Room and Map Room, Castle Black’s Mess Room, Cersei’s Courtyard in King’s Landing, and even Winterfell.

Plans for the new Game of Thrones Studio Tour were announced last year but the project has only just been given the green light by local authorities this month.

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council has given the go-ahead for the attraction, which will be located at the Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge.

The attraction promises a “deeply immersive and sensory experience” – and judging by the artists’ impressions which gave a first look inside, it could easily live up to the hype.

Guests will be able to walk around the sets and get up close to real props, costumes and weapons used throughout the show, not to mention there will be behind-the-scenes secrets revealed including special effects used in the show.

One highlight is the ‘interactive Costume Department station’ which suggests you’ll be able to dress up like your favourite characters for some impressive photo opps.

Other exciting features will include displays revealing make-up and prosthetic secrets, as well as a full Armoury where you can check out the impressive array of weapons.

It sounds like the experience could be similar to that of the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London, where visitors can wander around the franchise’s sets and learn all about the props and costumes used for the hit films.

As for the new GoT attraction, Northern Ireland is of course a fitting location, considering it actually served as one of the actual Game of Thrones filming locations.

Unfortunately for fans, no opening date has been confirmed yet for the new attraction, nor has the attraction given an indication of what ticket prices will be. However, it’s worth keeping an eye out on the Linen Mill Studios website for updates.
