It has been more than a year since the cult television show Game of Thrones aired its last ever episode, and fans have been craving for some new information - prequels, sequels, new books - from the fictional world of Westeros and Essos, created by author George RR Martin and adapted for television by D B Weiss and David Benioff. In a bid to grab their attention, a new Game of Thrones-themed attraction is slated to open in the UK. According to The Independent, fans from all around the world will be able to visit the place, to get a full experience of the fictional world. They will get access to iconic sets like the Map Room, Dragonstone’s Throne Room, Castle Black’s Mess Room, Cersei’s Courtyard in King’s Landing, and also the fort at Winterfell. The outlet reports that while the plans for the studio tour were announced in 2019, the project received the green light by local authorities only this month. The much-awaited attraction - with an estimated worth of £24m - will be set in the Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, where a large portion of the show was shot.
