Cobbles, chaos, hotpot: Victoria celebrates 65 years of Coronation Street

Canadian audiences average 532,000 viewers per episode as Coronation Street marks 65 years with live shows featuring key cast members in Victoria and Vancouver.

  • To celebrate Coronation Street’s 65th anniversary, Mikey North and Ryan Prescott will perform at Victoria’s Vic Theatre on Aug. 23, and Vancouver’s York Theatre on Aug. 24.
  • Despite its 65-year run, Coronation Street celebrates its longevity, with an average of four million Brits and 532,000 Canadian viewers per episode, according to sources.
  • Over more than 170 shows, Coronation Street stars sold an estimated 50,000 tickets from Halifax to Vancouver Island, with fans like Susan and Rolf Kargel experiencing the Rovers Return pub firsthand.
  • Amid celebrations, fans cite Commonwealth ties and British expats as reasons for Corrie’s Canadian appeal, with generations passing down the tradition, says Central Saanich resident Susan Kargel.
  • Building on past milestones, Corrie will soon collide with Emmerdale in a first-ever crossover episode, with William Roache’s Canadian tour success highlighting its legacy.
