Backstage Tours

The Octagon is opening its doors to welcome schools, colleges and community groups into the theatre. Our tours will take you onto our stage and behind the scenes, giving you an exciting glimpse into the mechanisms of a working theatre.

Schools, Colleges and Community Groups

Our tours are a brilliant way of enhancing your group's cultural education offer. We can tailor tours to any age group. Whether you want to explore industry links or career pathways with your group, or if you are interested in storytelling, history or literature; our backstage tours will be an exciting experience for any age. This is a 1 hour 30 minute experience.

PLEASE NOTE THAT BACKSTAGE TOURS WILL RESUME IN MAY 2025
