Richmond Theatre - Ghost Tour

Richmond Theatre is opening its doors for a Ghost Tour on Saturday 31 October, and it's a guided walk that takes you inside the theatre to hear about its spooky history. It's a Halloween date, so the timing fits the theme, and it's one of those rare chances to get into the building when there isn't a show on stage.

The tour starts at 11:00 and runs for about an hour, though you'll want to budget for 90 minutes in total because there's a Q&A at the end. The walk itself is the main event, led by a guide who'll take you through the theatre and tell the stories that have built up around the place over the years. If you've spent any time around the Green, you know the theatre is a landmark of the area, but this is one of the few times you'll see it from the inside rather than from the stalls.

There are a couple of age rules to keep in mind before you book. No under-3s are allowed, and anyone under 16 has to sit next to an adult aged 18 or over and be supervised at all times. So if you're bringing the family, it's more of a treat for the older kids than a toddler's outing.

Tickets start from £20, and the tour is at Richmond Theatre, The Green, Richmond, London, TW9 1QJ. It kicks off at 11:00 on Saturday 31 October, with the guided walk taking about an hour and a Q&A following on, making it 90 minutes in total.
