Fans of the global superstar, Harry Styles, who grew up in Holmes Chapel can now take part in the 'Harry's Home Village Tour' - without even leaving their house!

Holmes Chapel Partnership launched 'Harry's Home Village Tour' last summer as we revealed here and now they are taking the project one stage further - introducing an on-line version of the tour.

Available to purchase with one, three, or six-month access, the new tour of Holmes Chapel in Cheshire offers a rich, interactive experience that includes:

  • A detailed digital walking route through Holmes Chapel with interactive maps and photographs
  • Historical and current-day insights on each of the six iconic locations
  • Top tips on the best selfie spots, where to sign fan visitor books and find Harry merchandise
  • Detailed Holmes Chapel village centre guide
  • A certificate of completion at the end of the tour
  • The chance to upload a personal image to a virtual "Harry's Wall"

The online tour has been designed and built by volunteers from Holmes Chapel Partnership with website expertise provided by Matt O'Regan from South Cheshire Digital.

The interactive format ensures fans can enjoy the tour any day of the week, whether they're planning ahead, visiting spontaneously or logging in from across the globe. It builds on the success of last year's guided tours and supports the village's focus on safe, sustainable tourism and local business engagement.

Peter Whiers, Chair of Holmes Chapel Partnership, said: "After the success and recognition of 2024, we're thrilled to make the tour experience more accessible than ever before. 

"The online tour experience gives visitors complete flexibility to explore Holmes Chapel on their own terms, while allowing us to manage tourism in a way that benefits the whole community.

 "The influx of fans to Holmes Chapel remains strong, and while the guided tours were incredibly popular, some visitors were disappointed last year when tours were unavailable or sold out.

"The self-guided maps and now this online guide ensures that every fan can enjoy their time here, regardless of when they arrive.

"Our voluntary partners at the train station and Sam Dale & Son will continue to offer a warm welcome and local insights to fans, as I'm sure will the wider village community."

 The launch follows a landmark year for the project, which saw Harry's Home Village Tour earn widespread acclaim. At the 2025 Marketing Cheshire Tourism Awards, the tour was named New Tourism Business of the Year and Highly Commended for Best Tourism Marketing Project of the Year.

The project attracted global media attention in 2024, with coverage on BBC News, Sky News, NBC News and more.

Its success is thanks to the volunteer-led effort of Holmes Chapel Partnership and the pro bono PR expertise provided by Congleton based [wearetmc.com]TMC Strategic Communications.
