Theatre Tours at Lancaster Grand Theatre

240 years of history in the gem of the north west.

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 the long and lively history and how it has developed into what you see today.  A backstage and front of house tour, 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.  If you are lucky, you may even see the ghost.

Saturday morning tours start at 10:30, in the foyer coffee bar. 
Weekday day time tours start at 14:00, in the foyer coffee bar
Tours 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 the Grade II listed building, certain parts of the theatre are only accessible via steps or stairs.
​​​​​​Private group bookings are available by pre-arrangement.
