About

Our 75-minute guided tour is a brilliant way to explore how theatre is made! Discover our backstage spaces, how we create our shows and experience our famous Festival Theatre stage*. You'll hear all about the theatre's beginnings and what makes this building so special and come away with oodles of insider knowledge about what happens behind the scenes.

*We hope to get everyone to 'tread the boards' themselves but on occasion the stage design makes this a little tricky. If we can't go on the stage, don't worry we'll make sure your experience is still super special.

CFT is committed to being accessible; please let us know when booking if you or anyone in your group has any access requirements and we will do our best to accommodate all needs.
