ShareFind out what goes on behind the BBC camera and have a go in front of it.
If you’ve ever watched someone presenting the weather on TV and thought “I could do that”, then mosey on up to Salford and put your skills to the test. Nothing comes close to the ripple of anticipation you get on a live TV set, and on this immersive tour, you’ll be able to feel that excitement for yourself.
Since the closure of BBC Television Centre in London, much of the BBC’s TV production moved north, but this tour retains a real sense of the BBC’s history. Kids will love the CBBC tour - if you spend your evenings trying to tear them away from the TV, just wait until they get behind the presenter’s desk.
