Happy Birthday to the Game of Thrones Studio Tour as the attraction celebrates its first birthday this week and as a result is offering two great incentives to visit this February.
Located at one of the acclaimed series’ original filming locations at Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, Game of Thrones Studio Tour invites visitors to come up close and personal in the heart of Westeros to see breathtaking imagery, captivating sets, original props and costumes and more behind-the-scenes elements from the hit HBO series.
The studio tour was opened on February 4th last year with special appearances by Game of Thrones fan favorites Kristian Nairn (Hodor), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), and Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran) who together helped to ‘Break the Chains’ for this brand-new global visitor attraction.
To celebrate its first birthday the tour will offer visitors a 25% discount on all admissions tickets and children under 12 will gain free admission throughout February.
And as it’s the month of romance with Valentine’s Day approaching, a new temporary display of opulent costumes featured in Game of Thrones weddings has also launched.
The Wedding costumes display will run until April and includes:
- The stunning gold wedding dress worn by Sansa Stark (Season 3) for her marriage to Tyrion Lannister at the Great Sept of Baelor.
- The velvet gown worn by Lysa Arryn in Season 4 for her marriage to Peter Baelish, shows remarkable detail representing House Tully and House Arryn.
- Lyanna Stark’s tulle skirt and bodice with a metal filigree collar that she wore for her secret wedding to Rhaegar Targaryen.
- Roslin Frey’s iconic green and gold brocade coat and intricate cream crochet veil from her wedding to Edmure Tully.
