Go behind the curtains this Christmas, for our first ever backstage tour of this year’s pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Co-Producer Matt Nolan will take you on a tour of the building and auditorium, where you can discover the unique past of the old swimming baths whilst learning about the brand new pantomime!

You will see areas that are usually out of bounds, learning about the operations (past and present) of our theatre and you will go onstage behind the scenes of this year’s production, seeing what the auditorium looks like from the actors point of view! Oh yes you will!

An interesting perspective of one of Cheltenham's oldest buildings at Christmas time!

Approx 60 minutes, walking tour.

Please note this tour is throughout a complex historical building with various steps, unstable surfaces and other hazards; therefore, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility or young children. If demand exists, we are keen to also run more accessible versions of the tour for those who would benefit. Please let us know via access@cheltplayhouse.org.uk to register your interest.

Important notes:  

- These tours will be taking place in a working theatre. This may mean the tours may vary depending on what is going on in the building

 - The tour starts on time, so to ensure access to the venue, please arrive at least 5 minutes before the start time. Bring an electronic or paper print out of ticket due to the box office not being open on the day.

- All proceeds from the tour go directly to the venue as a donation.
