    Can anyone suggest a good time to go?

    Shooting starts tomorrow for the week and they’ll be back again the start of July. Assume set is closed during filming. Or is it just filming hours? What about the day before filming starts or the day after it ends?

    Can’t find a good answer on Google.

    The whole village is closed off during shoots, think that's 7am til 10 at night.
    Roads are local access only and are basically shut.
    Pedestrian access not allowed to village either, all residents and business owners moved out.
    They're shooting again in July so no big panic to see the set but then they're shipping everything back to the states.
    It's basically impossible to get parking, usually you can park in the Bog Meadow for filled with staff from the set from early.
    The traffic jams into and out of the village are from 8:30 in the morning right through til about 7 or 8 at night.
    Total and utter nightmare for locals.

    Surely. There was a house beside me used for a film when I was growing up and they get well compensated.

    I’d say it’s the people who are not directly within the set are that lose out. Loads of disruption and not directly involved.

    Thanks. I’m no fan of traffic jams so will probably keep clear.

    Lol, you have no idea.

    I knew a local official in a certain county, who met a delegation from a Hollywood production who needed a certain type of house to host a few weeks worth of shooting on a film. When he heard what it was worth to them, he gave them the keys to his own place and moved his family into three hotel rooms for 6 weeks, which they also paid for.

    Indeed they have been. Very well.

    And while I'm at it, the cyclists are the biggest problem.
    Every road in and out of the village blocked by them, every weekend.

    Blocked? You mean "used" surely?

    announced on local radio this morning that the filming hours are 0700 - 2200hrs for the week. NO access during those times, so i'd say next week would be your best bet to visit without issues.

    no I mean blocked.
    roads impassable.
    bikes all over the footpaths blocking access.
    taking up seating areas with their bottle of water.
    I 100% mean blocked.

    Are they all dead and tonne weight so can't be moved without heavy machinery? Because outside of your fantasy, that's really the only way they're blocking any road.

    Do you ever complain about the parked cars, vans and trucks blocking footpaths?

    Did you ever consider overtaking the cyclists on the road using the other lane?

    And as for seating areas and bottles of water, haaaaahahaaahaaahaaaa.

    Enniskerry village is smaller than an avg housing estate and only two streets, you won't get lost.

    There's also this one in Greystones if that's what you're referring to

    Yes that's the one I'm referring to. It's not in Enniskerry village, it's somewhere in The Burnaby in Greystones, but would be handy to know which street exactly.

    Erskine Avenue. They're not encouraging visitors though. They have blocked a lot of it off and there is security moving people along.

    The turret is a fake add-on.

    Does anyone know if there is anything left to see of the set these days? Or will they set it up from scratch again in July?

    Is the set still there? Heard they finished up. Still worth going to see it?
