Doctor Who fans now have a chance to explore the inside of the Doctor’s TARDIS as Cardiff Bay’s Doctor Who Experience has added an exciting new tour of the show’s studios at Roath Lock to their list of attractions.
The focal point of the tour is the TARDIS console room, which was first seen during the 2012 Christmas Special and features in the upcoming 50th anniversary episode airing on November 23rd this year.
The attraction’s events manager Courtney Lewis said:
This is the first time ever we’ve opened the studio and the first time the public have been allowed on the set, which is a really big deal for us.
It will only be open for the summer – so fans need to take up the chance while they can. It really is a unique opportunity for Doctor Who fans The way it will work is people will have the chance to buy a joint ticket for the studio tour and Doctor Who Experience.
On top of that, you can also add the walking tour if you wish. That’s something we’ve launched during the past month and involves visiting 30 filming locations we use for the show around Cardiff Bay
And with it being summer – meaning all the production staff are on holiday – we thought this would be the best time to let people have a look. The tours are done in groups of four or six, so they feel quite exclusive. And people are allowed to take pictures and videos. It’s such an iconic set and it’s great that people are now able to come and see it for themselves.
Tickets for the Doctor Who studio tour are on sale now. The tours will run until Sunday 25th August and begin from the foyer of the Doctor Who Experience.
Prices start from £20.50 for adults and £14.50 for children and tickets also include general admission to the Doctor Who Experience.
