HINTERLAND fans have the chance to step onto the set of the award-winning detective series as part of a new exhibition at Aberystwyth University’s Old College.

Familiar scenes from the television series have been faithfully recreated for the Hinterland Offset exhibition which has now opened to the public and runs until 22 December.

The police station office shared by DCI Mathias (Richard Harrington) and DI Mared Rhys (Mali Harries) is featured, along with a range of props used by the team.

Hanging on a coat rack in the corner of the office is the distinctive red parka with its fur-lined hood worn by DI Rhys and one of DCI Mathias’s many jackets.

One wall is dedicated to a busy evidence and investigation noticeboard, including a map showing the areas of Ceredigion which have been used during the series.

A murder scene complete with fake blood, a ‘body’ on the floor and crime scene tape has also been recreated by the props team from the independent production company behind the series, Fiction Factory.

The ‘Hinterland Offset’ exhibition formally opened on Friday evening, 18 November, followed by a Question and Answer session with Hinterland producer Ed Talfan and the creative director of Fiction Factory, Ed Thomas who is an Honorary Fellow of Aberystwyth University.
