A Tour of the QVC Studio Park in West Chester

In a diversion on our holiday shopping frenzy, we stopped in West Chester at QVC Studio Park for a tour of the studio.

QVC is on, live, 24 hours a day, 364 days a year (they aren’t live on Christmas Day, though they are on). At Studio Park, there is also the Studio Store where you can purchase items from the shows.

The Tour starts by playing QVC’s first ever broadcast in 1986. Following that, the tour follows above the many studios and sets at QVC’s North American headquarters in West Chester.

While we were touring, "In the Kitchen with David” was filming live below us in the studios. We also got to watch the director of the show working the cameras from joysticks in the control booth.

We also got to see the prop room for all the shows – a room that went on for what felt like miles! As well as the on air sale props for the next week, again, a room packed with items that was huge. The second floor of that room was the biggest jewelry box I’ve ever seen – it was bigger than my bedroom!

The highlight of the tour was the overlook bridge that looked over most of the sets from inside the studios. We were right above David, which was cool!

Tours are held 7 days a week at 10:30 a.m., noon, 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4 p.m.
