Ghost Tour

An empty theatre, out of hours and after dark, is full of dark shadows, unexpected noises, and fleeting glimpses of theatre ghosts - or is that just your imagination? Theatre Royal Ghost Tours is an atmospheric experience of stories and suggestion that will bring you out in goose-bumps.

The Theatre Royal, as it stands, dates from 1895 and has a chequered history having been replaced by two earlier theatres built on the site in 1867 and 1888 - both of which were gutted by fire before being rebuilt within the existing external walls. But who really knows of the personal tragedies of its staff, or those performers who simply refuse to accept that the curtain, for them, has well and truly fallen? What might lurk behind a pillar or who might be sitting behind you, unseen, watching you as you watch a show?

Will you feel the temperature drop, will you experience any paranormal activity and will you ever be able to return to the theatre without having the feeling that someone or something is lurking over your shoulder?

The tours will take place immediately after the performance that evening. Meet in the foyer where an usher will take you to Ambassador Lounge for a safety briefing before the tour moves backstage.
