Led by our enthusiastic team of Tour Guides, you’ll travel around the theatre, taking in the building and all of its history, from front of house to behind the scenes. Step on up and into the spotlight where the likes of Ian McKellan CBE, Dame Judi Dench DBE, Sir Peter Hall CBE and many more have gone before you. You’ll even get to tread the boards yourself!
