Revealed: Harry Styles superfans face 80-part quiz to become tour guides in his hometown - how many do YOU know the answer to?

Harry Styles 'superfans' applying for jobs as tour guides in his home town face a tough recruitment process.

The applicants will have to answer an 80-question quiz on the star and his hometown before completing a short individual presentation.

A map produced by Holmes Chapel Partnership - which the local railway station ticket officer Graham Blake gives away for free - treats fans to a two-mile journey around the village that navigates them through the significant spots of Harry's past. 

But now local leaders are going one step further and are planning official tours to show fans sights such as the bakery where he worked as a teen and Twemlow Viaduct where he reputedly had his first kiss.

They received over 150 applications for Harry Styles experts to lead the tours and interviewed 20 hopefuls on Saturday, April 20. 

More than 5,000 fans - known as 'Harries' - have descended on the quaint Cheshire village of Holmes Chapel in the past year and now locals are hoping to capitalise on the attention by employing tour guides.

The guides will work part time through the summer months and take tour groups through a special route through Harry's hometown. 

Applicants were required to have a genuine interest in the village and its history - as well as its links to Harry Styles - and have excellent communication and storytelling skills.

Peter Whiers, chairman of the Holmes Chapel Partnership, says there was 'a lot of love for Harry' in the room where the interviews were held.

He said: 'The assessment day went incredibly well.

'There was a lot of love for Harry in the room but also many applicants whose shared fantastic knowledge of local history and pride in Holmes Chapel village.

 'Alongside this, we were keen to identify applicants who were well organised, engaging speakers and confident to lead a group safely around the village.

'I was really impressed with the calibre of the attendees.

'I'm confident we can now appoint tour guides who will make Harry Home Village Tours an entertaining and enjoyable experience this summer.'

The tours will run on Saturday mornings in June and weekdays in July, September and August this year.

The partnership originally wanted to appoint 12 guides but after the success of the interview process, they have decided to hire more.

Peter said: 'The combination of the excellent applicants we met today and high early interest in the tours has swayed our decision to offer positions to several more Tour Guides.

'This will ensure we have a team large enough to comfortably meet demand and deliver daily tours over the summer months.'

While people from all over the world threw their hat into the ring, Holmes Chapel Partnership narrowed down their search to just locals.

Despite people applying from Argentina and Germany, the civil parish only wanted guides who lived a 30 minute drive away in case they had to be drafted in last minute.

The tour guides will have a temporary zero hours contract and will be paid £8.60 an hour if they are aged 16 to 20 or £11.50 an hour if they are over 20-years-old.

Last year, the partnership produced special maps of walking tours for the two mile-long pilgrimage because of road safety concerns.

Every stop on the tour is steeped in the enigmatic pop star's history, with the route taking in the As It Was hitmaker's childhood home, his old school and Mandeville's bakery where he had a Saturday job at and

The tour ends in a fairy-tale fashion at a railway viaduct - where Harry is alleged to have had his first kiss.

Mr Whiers said the Harry Styles Walking Map had resulted in a big increase in visitors and businesses seizing the opportunity to cater for them.

He said: 'It has been an incredible year with over 5,000 visitors and four TV crews making the pilgrimage as the Harries continued to arrive in Holmes Chapel.

'Even the worst of the winter months has not stopped them from braving muddy banks and wet fields to pay homage at Harry's Wall at the viaduct.'

Mr Whiers added: 'But we now think it is time for Holmes Chapel to increase what we can offer to the young visitors and ensure they return home with a memorable experience of Harry's village.' 

Around 5,000 diehard fans have already hot-footed it to Holmes Chapel in the last year alone, and interest, Peter says, has 'gone mad' since news of the tours broke — with TV crews from Spain and France, and even journalists from the New York Times, getting in touch.

'The idea is that we will charge £20 a tour and use the money to support retail and the infrastructure of the village,' he says.

'Last year was dire, what with the cost-of-living crisis people stopped buying luxuries such as coffees and cakes so much, and we had several businesses go bust. If we can do something Harry-related to support them, then that's the aim.'
