SC1525 Sous Chef GOTSTABOUT THE STUDIO TOUR
Game of Thrones Studio Tour, located in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, was once a bustling linen mill factory, first constructed in the 1900s. In 2011, and after the linen industry had moved offshore, the site became a filming host for HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Working in partnership with HBO and Warner Bros Discovery, Game of Thrones Studio Tour began development after Game of Thrones, Season 8 wrapped in 2019. The Studio Tour opened in February 2022 and is the world’s only Game of Thrones Studio Tour.
Game of Thrones Studio Tour aims to celebrate and inspire the next generation of film makers and creatives, whilst making conscious efforts to leave our working environment, in a better position for the future.
