Theatre Tours
Guided backstage and front-of-house tours of Lancaster Grand, exploring its 1782 origins and Edwardian splendour
244 years of history in the Gem of the Northwest for the taking!
You are invited to take a guided tour of the third oldest continually operating theatre in England. Originally built in 1782 during the reign of George III and rebuilt in 1908 to its current Edwardian style, you will hear about its long and lively history and how it has developed into what you see today.
A backstage and front of house tour is yours for the taking during which you will see the ornate auditorium and the wonders of the hidden, functional world behind the curtain. Stand on the stage and see what it looks like to be a performer! Hear about the people who ran the Grand over the years, what they did to it and who has appeared here. If you are lucky, you may even see the ghost!
Information:
Saturday morning tours start at 10.30am from the foyer coffee bar, weekday daytime tours start at 2pm from the foyer coffee bar, and they last approximately one and a half hours.
It is possible to book places on the day but tours will only take place if there are already some pre-booked places for that particular date.
Due to the historic nature of our Grade 2 listed building certain parts of the theatre are only accessible via steps or stairs.
Private group bookings are possible on other dates. Please contact the Box Office on 01524 64695 to discuss.
