Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Currency switch: Dublin uses Euros (EUR), but Belfast and the Game of Thrones Studio Tour are in Northern Ireland (UK), which uses British Pounds (GBP). Ensure you have a card with low foreign transaction fees for food and souvenirs.
  • Visa and ETA requirements: You are crossing an international border from the Republic of Ireland into the UK. Depending on your nationality, you may need a UK visa or an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) in addition to your Irish visa.
  • No direct drop-offs or parking at the studio: There is no public parking at Linen Mill Studios, and direct taxi drop-offs or pedestrian arrivals are not permitted. If driving or taking a taxi, you must go to the dedicated car park at The Boulevard in Banbridge and board the complimentary shuttle bus.
  • Meals and drinks are extra: Day trips and studio transfers do not include food or beverages. You will need to purchase meals out-of-pocket at the studio cafes or during your free time in Belfast.
  • Missed coach expenses: Transfer tickets are strictly timed. If you miss the scheduled return coach from the studio or Belfast, you must pay for your own public transport (like the Enterprise train or Translink bus) back to Dublin.
  • Optional tour upgrades: Standard day trip packages may only cover transport and basic entry. Popular local activities in Belfast, such as the Titanic Experience or a Black Cab political tour, usually require paid upgrades.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance: For day trips departing Dublin, coaches typically leave from central locations such as the Molly Malone Statue on Suffolk Street or Busáras Central Bus Station; arrive at least 15 minutes before departure. If your itinerary includes the Game of Thrones Studio Tour in Banbridge, the coach drops you directly at the studio entrance, where you will undergo mandatory bag checks and metal detector screening. Note that independent drivers cannot park at the studio and must use the park-and-shuttle lot at The Boulevard Banbridge. Because these tours cross into Northern Ireland (UK), ensure you carry appropriate identification/visas and British Pounds (£) for local purchases.
  • Price: The official Game of Thrones Studio Tour admission ticket starts at £29.50 (approx. €35) for adults, with reduced rates for seniors/students (£24), teenagers (£12), and children (£5). When booking a complete day trip package from Dublin that includes round-trip coach transport and entry, official packages start around £50 (approx. €58). Reseller options (such as Tiqets starting from €60.14) are highly competitive with official rates and often offer superior cancellation flexibility, whereas the official site charges a £5 fee for any booking amendments.
  • Discounts: Since Belfast and the Linen Mill Studios are located in Northern Ireland (UK), crossing the border from Dublin (Republic of Ireland) requires all travelers to carry a valid passport or national ID; check if your nationality requires a UK visa. For the Game of Thrones Studio Tour packages, ticket categories are split: Adults (16–65), Seniors (66+), Students (16+ with valid ID), Teens (13–15), and Children (5–12). Infants (0–4) are free but must be added to the booking to secure a seat on the coach. All visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my ticket, and how do the time slots work for the Dublin transfer?

No, you can present your ticket directly on your mobile device or print it at home. When booking a transfer package from Dublin, the selected time slot represents your coach departure time from the city center, not your entry time at the studio.

What is the cancellation and refund policy for this day trip?

Official tickets are non-refundable, and changing your date or time directly through the studio incurs a £5.00 amendment fee. Booking via partner platforms like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is often preferred because they frequently offer flexible cancellation policies (often up to 24 or 48 hours before departure).

Where does the transfer coach depart from in Dublin, and what happens if I am late?

Coaches typically depart from central Dublin locations such as the Molly Malone Statue on Suffolk Street, College Green, or Busáras Central Bus Station, depending on the operator. You should arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure; late arrivals risk missing the coach, and missed transfers are generally non-refundable. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact departure point and terms.

Are there bag restrictions or security checks at the studio?

Yes, all visitors undergo security and bag checks upon arrival. Large bags and coats must be stored in the secure lockers at the Visitor Services desk, and outside food or drinks (except reusable water bottles) are not permitted inside.

Do I need a passport or visa to travel from Dublin to the studio in Northern Ireland?

Because the studio is located in Banbridge, Northern Ireland (part of the UK), international visitors crossing the land border from the Republic of Ireland may require a valid passport and a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). Irish and UK citizens are generally exempt.

Are there discounted tickets for children, students, or seniors?

Yes, reduced rates are available for children aged 5–15, seniors aged 66 and older, and students with a valid ID. Infants under 5 enter for free, but all visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
