OUR STORY

From spinning looms to spinning stories. Welcome to Linen Mill.

OUR STORY BEGINS

From Linen Mill To Studio

Linen Mill Studios began its life as a working linen mill in Banbridge, County Down. As the linen industry declined, the site stood ready for reinvention — and in 2011, it found new purpose as a filming location for HBO’s Game of Thrones.

At a glance:

  • Historic origins in the early 1900s
  • Repurposed for screen production in 2011
  • Became a key Northern Ireland filming base for HBO

A World-Class Partnership

When production on Game of Thrones wrapped, Linen Mill Studios partnered with HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery to bring the magic behind the scenes to life.

Together, they transformed the working studio into an immersive visitor attraction that honours the artistry, innovation, and global impact of the series.

Opened in 2022, the Game of Thrones Studio Tour is the only official experience of its kind, built with the very people who brought Westeros to life.

Inspiring the Next Generation

The Studio Tour isn’t just about what was created, it’s about what comes next. We’re committed to sparking curiosity and inspiring future creators through education, hands-on learning, and creative opportunity.

Whether it’s a student seeing screen-used props up close or an aspiring designer understanding the detail behind costume creation, we aim to nurture the next wave of storytellers.
