Behind-The-Scenes Tour

On Sunday 18 November the New Theatre, Cardiff will throw open her doors for a day of behind the scenes tours. Open to all theatregoers, these free tours will offer a rare opportunity to see what happens backstage, including the dressing rooms, the fly floor and on the stage.

Along the way there will be a chance to speak to the people that make it all happen and also a brief demonstration of stage lighting, sound and pyrotechnic effects.

The tours will last approximately 75 minutes. They are limited to 40 people per tour and the minimum age for coming on the tour is 5 years old. Due to the age of the building, the backstage of the New Theatre has limited access. Anyone who receives a place on the tour and has difficulty with steps is asked to contact the theatre to discuss their visit.

To be in with a chance of going behind the scenes at the New Theatre, applicants need to email ntmailings@cardiff.gov.uk with their contact details, preferred time for coming (listing as many options as possible) and the number of spaces required. There are a maximum of 4 spaces per person available. The lucky applicants will be picked at random after midday on Thursday 8 November.
