Guided behind-the-scenes tour of the Connaught Theatre, exploring its history and hidden spaces with a few ghostly tales.
The Connaught Theatre is opening its doors for a behind-the-scenes tour on Wednesday 18 November, and it's one of those rare chances to see the inner workings of a venue we usually only experience from the stalls. The tour meets in the foyer and winds its way through the back, finishing up in Fraser's Bar, so you'll start and end in the parts of the building you already know.
It's a working theatre, cinema and studio, and that's exactly what you'll be walking through. A guide leads the way, weaving together the venue's history with a few ghostly tales along the route. The Connaught has a fair bit of pedigree behind it, too — Templeton Peck and Christopher Lee are two of the names that have passed through its doors over the years. Between the stories and the spaces you don't normally get to see, there's a complimentary tea or coffee included in the ticket.

One practical thing to keep in mind: the route isn't fully accessible and isn't suitable for anyone who needs step-free access. If that's a concern, you'll want to contact the Box Office in advance to get the full picture before you book. If you can't make this one, there are sessions running in November 2026 and February 2027, so you've got a bit of leeway on the date. Tickets are available through the Worthing Theatres website.
