Where is Coronation Street filmed?

On-screen events and reality are sometimes worlds apart but this is far from the case for Coronation Street.

In 2014, production decided to vacate the old Granada Studios on Manchester’s Quay Street.

Cameras and stars were all moved to a purpose-built 7.7 acre site in MediaCityUK.

MediaCity is situated on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford and Trafford.

The set at MediaCity was built to a bigger scale than Granada Studios.

The new set also has a Costa Coffee shop, a Co-Op, a new curry house and a community garden.

However, most interior scenes are still shot in studios.

The set includes all of the iconic Corrie landmarks such as The Rovers Return, Roy’s Rolls and The Bistro.

You’ll also find the exterior of the character’s houses on the street there.

From March, 2022, until – at the earliest – autumn, MediaCityUK is opening construction of a new addition to the set.

Soap bosses announced the opening of a construction site for the Weatherfield precinct on March 9, which has often been mentioned in dialogues between characters.
