Backstage Tour

Theatre Royal is opening its doors for a Backstage Tour on Saturday 27 June, and it's one of those things that's finally back on the calendar. If you've spent any time in the audience at the Royal, you know the view from the stalls, but this is the other side of the curtain—the parts of the theatre that usually stay hidden while the show is running.

It's a guided tour, so you'll be led through the wings and the spaces behind the scenes rather than just left to wander. The theatre describes it as one of their popular returns, and it's aimed at people who've always wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a working house. It's a tour for adults with an interest in theatre and how a venue like this actually functions from the inside, rather than a family outing for the kids.

The tour runs on Saturday 27 June at 10:30, so it's a morning thing. It's part of a wider run that continues through to 27 March 2027, with dates and times varying across the season, so if you can't make this particular Saturday, there'll be more to choose from later on.

Tickets are £15 for a standard entry, and you can book yours online or over the phone on 0870 060 6650. The tour starts at 10:30 at the Theatre Royal on New Road, BN1 1SD.
