Behind-the-scenes tour of the 'Sleeping Beauty' pantomime set at Harrogate Theatre, with wings access and centre-stage selfies.
Harrogate Theatre is opening its doors for a Pantomime Tour on Monday 21 December, a guided walk through the scenes of this year's panto, Sleeping Beauty. It's aimed at fans of the show, and it lets you see the production from the other side of the footlights.
During the tour, you'll stand on the pantomime set itself, so you get to see the scenery and the props up close rather than from the stalls. You'll also see the wings, where the cast waits before their entrances, and you can take your own selfies centre stage. It's a chance to see how the whole thing is put together behind the scenes, and it runs for an hour.
It's worth keeping the venue in mind, too. Harrogate Theatre was built in 1900 and is a late Victorian proscenium arch theatre spread over five floors, and it still has no lift. It houses two performance spaces: a 500-seat proscenium arch theatre and a flexible studio for up to 60, and it's home to amateur societies that stage musicals and plays throughout the year. The tour takes place in that main theatre, so you'll be standing right where the action happens.
