Extra, Extra, Read All About It!
Now that season 6 filming of When Calls The Heart has officially ended, tours at Jamestown are BACK!!! The tours will be a little different than previously offered. There will be two options; a Town Tour and a Private Tour.
On the Town Tour, your guide will walk you through the town of Hope Valley, taking you into the very same buildings you see on the show! From Abigail’s Cafe to the beautiful church, you will see it all. This is a walking tour that will last about an hour and the cost is $20.00 per person, Canadian Dollars.
On the Private Tour, your guide will drive you to the mine from the early seasons, the row houses, and the cabin in the woods. You will walk through the town of Hope Valley, just like the Town Tour mentioned above. Private Tours will last about 2 hours and are limited to 5 people. The cost is $35.00 per person, Canadian Dollars. Private Tours are subject to availability and can only be booked by emailing melanie@beingredients.com
Melanie MacInnes handles the scheduling of all tours and tour inquiries. And for those of you who do not know, her parents own MacInnes Farm, which is where the Jamestown Movie Set is located.

November Tour Date!
If you are itching to take a tour, I’ve got some great news, hot off the press! The next Town Tour will be on Saturday, November 17, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. To book the Town Tour, please click here.
Last February, I was asked to be a Jamestown tour guide and it was a lot of fun. Every weekend through May, I met fans from all over the world and got to show them around the town of Hope Valley, answer their questions, and capture it all with photos they will have forever.
I’d like to point out that while the town of Hope Valley is very recognizable from the TV show, the set will not be dressed when you tour Jamestown. All props were removed by the production company, once filming was complete. You will be allowed to enter the buildings and look around, and even have time to take a photo from the jail cell.
It is a super fun experience to be able to walk around the real set from one of your favorite shows!
If you’ve been thinking about taking a tour, now would be a great time to book. Tours are only offered when filming is not taking place and due to popular demand, tours are starting a little early. As I mentioned above, there will be a Town Tour on Saturday, November 17, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. There will be one more Town Tour offered in 2018, sometime in December before Christmas, but the date has not been determined at this time. After that, tours will resume in early 2019. Once again, to book the Town Tour on November 17, please click here.

It would really be fun to be on this set. You have probably brought lots of tourism to British Columbia when you highlight the various Hallmark filming locations. I hope sometime that they recognize you! Thanks for your fun posts.
Kerry
Thank you so much Beth, what a lovely thing to say! I am so happy you enjoy reading about my adventures. Day = made!!! 🙂

Kerry,
Do you offer tours in 2019? I would like to come visit but I don’t see any data regarding tours. I’m way across the country and can’t just pop in to see unfortunately. Appreciate your time!
Kerry
Hi Patricia! Yes, there are tours being offered in 2019. For tour information, please contact Melanie, who schedules all the tours. Her email is melanie@beingredients.com Thanks! 🙂
Patricia Henry
Like an angel you actually responded to me, so appreciative of your time. I’ve reached out to Melanie and look forward to seeing your beautiful farm.
Kerry
Hi Patricia, thanks for your comment. Glad you reached out to Melanie. Her parents own the farm, not me. I only met them when I did a story on their property. They are good people!!! 🙂
Roxanne Reid

Hello Kerry,
My friend and I are very much Hearties and when we heard about the Set Tours being offered, we wanted to know more. Where do we find the tour dates for 2020 and will there also be private tour dates? Would love to take a tour.. Thank you,
Kerry
For tour information, please email Melanie at beeingredients@gmail.com Please note there will not be any tours until sometime in 2021 at the earliest. 🙂
Veda Kull
Thank you for the comment about 2020. We are planning to be in the area in the summer and are hoping to take a tour, even just walking around town on our own is fine.
Kerry
Hi Veda, be sure and email Melanie for tour info. You have to sign up for a tour. The farm is private property and you cannot just enter the property and roam around. Melanie will get you set up and let you know what days are available. Keep in mind it is not uncommon for film crews to use the property for filming during the week. Thanks and good luck! 🙂
Elizabeth Marranzino
