Access All Areas

Come to the Royal Exchange Theatre Open Day, for a chance to see behind the scenes of a working theatre.

See how a play is put on as you follow two brand new pieces from audition to rehearsals to finished production - all in one day. There’ll be talks from directors and actors, and a chance to uncover the secrets of our sound, lighting and wardrobe departments.

There’ll also be Family Friendly activities and workshops for all ages, the chance to dress up in Royal Exchange costumes, discounts in the Craft Shop, free entertainment in the Great Hall and much much more.
