Guided tour exploring the historic Theatre Royal Brighton, allowing visitors to walk behind the curtain of one of the oldest working theatres in the country.
If you have ever walked past the Theatre Royal Brighton on New Road and wondered what happens behind the scenes of one of the country's oldest working theatres, there is an opportunity coming up to see it for yourself. The venue is opening its doors for a series of backstage tours, giving people a chance to step behind the curtain and explore the spaces that are usually off-limits to the public. It is a straightforward look at the building's history and the practical side of running a theatre that has been part of the city for a long time.

The tours are scheduled for a few specific dates this summer: Saturday, 13 June 2026, Saturday, 27 June 2026, and Saturday, 11 July 2026. Each session begins at 10:30, so it is a morning activity if you are planning your weekend. The theatre is located right in the centre of Brighton at BN1 1SD, making it easy to reach if you are already heading into town for other errands or coffee.
Regarding the logistics, the standard ticket price is £15.00. It is worth noting that while this is the current rate, prices can sometimes fluctuate, so checking the booking page before you head out is a good idea. The tours are generally suitable for families and groups, though if you are planning to bring children, it is worth a quick look at the booking site to see if there are any specific age recommendations for the session you choose. It is a different experience from other local tours, such as the Brighton Dome tours, which concluded earlier this year, so make sure you are booking for the right venue if you are looking at your calendar.
This is a chance to see the theatre from a different perspective, focusing on the architecture and the day-to-day operations rather than a performance. Whether you are interested in local history or just curious about how the theatre functions, the tour provides a look at the space without the usual stage lights and audience. If you are interested in attending, you can check the availability for those June and July dates directly through their booking system to secure a spot.
