The epic hit show Game of Thrones has become a culture on its own. And they are making it more worthwhile for fans by opening the site in Northern Ireland to fans.

Yesss!! There will be tours of Linen Mill Studios, the spot where all the actions were filmed will be open to fans. The sets for locations such as Winterfell, Castle Balck and Kings Landing will turn into a tourist attraction.

The creative team of the show will preserve the locations and give fans the opportunity to live and experience part of the seven kingdoms for a few hours.

Each site will also feature displays of costumes, props and weapons.

According to plan, it will be open to fans in 2019.

HBO is thrilled to celebrate the work of the Game of Thrones creative team and crew by preserving these locations and inviting fans to visit Northern Ireland and explore Westeros in person,” HBO’s Jeff Peters said.

“We look forward to opening the gates and sharing the excitement of stepping inside these amazing sets with Game of Thrones fans from around the world.

“The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland’s pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these legacy projects.”

John McGrillen, chief executive of Tourism NI, said the project would be a “game changer for Northern Ireland on a global tourism level”.

“We very much welcome this exciting announcement by HBO and look forward to attracting many more visitors to our beautiful country as a result,” he added.
