Here’s Why Coronation Street’s Rovers Return Is Now Open On Bath Avenue

Anybody walking down Bath Avenue today will probably have stopped in their tracks by the sight of the Rovers Return – of Coronation Street fame – where The Bath used to be.

Don't get too excited, because this is only a pop up that is here for the day and The Bath will be converted back in plenty of time for the usual rugby crowd at the weekend.

So what was all this about?

In other words, a sales play by UTV Ireland.

If you fancy catching a few F-listers, you can still get down there – the party's still ongoing.
