It is situated in the West Yorkshire village of Holmfirth, and was officially opened in 1996 and features three rooms packed full of memorabilia from the series, as well as a gift shop. 

It currently costs £4 for adults to tour the exhibition, which is open five days a week from 10.30pm to 2.30pm, or 3pm at weekends.

The business is being sold by agent Ernest Wilson, who say: ‘Tour Compo's house, as seen in the TV series, and explore a gift shop stocked with unique and interesting souvenirs from the show and the town of Holmfirth, including postcards, toffees and fudge, maps, mugs and much more. 

‘The main display room is a real treasure trove of Summer Wine memories, appealing not only to dedicated Summer Wine fans but just about anyone, and all age groups. In addition to the shop premises, the business also has a wonderful website which includes an online gift shop and e-commerce facility with the opportunity to ship goods worldwide. ‘

Last Of The Summer Wine ended in 2010 following 295 episodes broadcast over 37 years.  Series 27 to 31 are currently available to stream on U.
