The Royal Shakespeare Company is to restart its theatre tours in Stratford from Saturday 30 April with a new, one-hour guided tour which, when possible, will include access to the company’s newly developed costume workshop.
Led by the RSC’s experienced team of tour guides, the theatre tour will invite audiences to explore the public and backstage areas of its Stratford buildings and find out more about the history of the RSC.
The RSC’s tower will reopen from Tuesday 15 March. It stands 36 metres tall and has views across Warwickshire. Entrance to the tower will be free and prebooking is not required. It will be open daily until 4PM.
Kevin Wright, RSC head of commercial development, said, “we’re delighted to be offering public theatre tours again after a hiatus of more than two years. We’ve taken this time to refresh the tours so that, when possible, they include a visit to our new costume workshop, giving people a glimpse into the work of the largest in-house costume-making department of any British theatre.”
Theatre tours cost £12 per person and will run daily. There will be four tours a day apart from matinée days when there will be two and on Sundays when there will be three.
