Behind-the-scenes tour of the historic Connaught Theatre, with dressing rooms and projection booths, ghost stories and complimentary refreshments.
The Connaught Theatre is opening its doors for a backstage tour on Wednesday 10 February, starting at 10:00am. It's one of Worthing's most recognisable cultural landmarks, sitting alongside the Pavilion Theatre and Assembly Hall. It opened in 1931 as a mixed-use venue and a former cinema, and today it seats 512 across its theatre, cinema and studio.
The tour is led by venue staff and takes you through the dressing rooms, projection booths and other spaces the public never sees, with a stop for some of the building's ghost stories along the way. Over nearly a century of history, it's welcomed stars like Templeton Peck and Christopher Lee through its doors. The walk lasts around 90 minutes and finishes in Fraser's Bar with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits.

On the practical side, the tour starts in the Connaught Theatre foyer and ends in Fraser's Bar. It's recommended for ages 16 and above, and the route involves stairs and uneven floors, so it's not suitable for anyone requiring step-free access. Tickets start from £15, which includes the levy, plus a £1.75 transaction fee.
