Story

The arrival of "a wave of Swifties" in Harry Styles' hometown of Holmes Chapel has boosted guided walking tours, with an extra weekend tour added due to overwhelming demand. Fans of both stars, known as 'Swifties' and 'Harries', can now retrace the footsteps of Taylor Swift's memorable visit to the village in 2012. The electrifying atmosphere generated by Swift's concerts has led to a surge in ticket sales for the Harry Styles tours. More than 5,000 fans visited Holmes Chapel in 2023, with the not-for-profit volunteer group, Holmes Chapel Partnership, launching Styles-themed walking tours last month. Swift is set to perform three shows at Anfield Stadium as part of her billion-dollar Eras Tour, creating excitement that has swept across the North West.
