The Game of Thrones Studio Tour is celebrating its first birthday – and Valentine’s Day – with a new display featuring some of the show’s wedding dresses.
Located at one of the HBO series’ original filming locations in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, the studio tour attraction is home to imagery, sets, props and costumes.
“We’ve had an amazing first year with visitors from all over the world, and even some Game of Thrones cast and crew members have come to see this amazing studio tour,” said Gail Warke, the attraction’s marketing manager.
“It’s an epic day out for all the family – whether you’ve seen the show or not or want to learn more about TV and film production.
“Nowhere else will you get to see so much skill, craft, and secrets that made Game of Thrones a global success.”
Available through April, the display unveils a selection of the gowns worn in the series’ weddings, which all ended terribly.
These include the gold wedding dress worn by Sansa Stark in season 3 for her marriage to Tyrion Lannister, and Roslin Frey’s dress from her wedding to Edmure Tully, known as the ‘Red Wedding’.
The display also showcases the velvet gown worn by Lysa Arryn in season 4 for her marriage to Peter Baelish, as well as Lyanna Stark’s dress worn for her secret wedding to Rhaegar Targaryen.

Since opening in 2022, the Game of Thrones Studio Tour has become “an important asset for tourism in Northern Ireland”, said Niall Gibbons, the chief executive of Tourism Ireland.
“Overseas visitors regularly tell us that their holiday in Northern Ireland has surpassed their expectations – and a visit to Game of Thrones Studio Tour is certainly now a very popular choice on visitors’ itineraries.”
The world’s only official Game of Thrones-themed studio tour houses authentic sets of King’s Landing and the Great Hall of Winterfell, as well as more than 140 costumes, and weapons, jewellery and prosthetics.
