Guided Tours
Norwich Theatre Royal now offers four separate backstage tours to visiting groups:

• A Technical Tour – looking at the theatre from a technical perspective
• A General Tour – looking at a mixture of historical, technical and social perspectives
• A Historical Tour – looking at the History of Norwich Theatre Royal (this includes a powerpoint presentation)  
• Touch Tours are also available for those registered blind or partially sighted. These tours are available on request and for specific shows (such as Peter Pan 2010). For more details please contact Matthew Piper 01603 598540

General Information

• The Technical and General tours normally last about an hour although this is mainly dependent upon the interest of the visiting group and can be shorter if required.
• The Historical Tour is longer than the other tours as it includes a powerpoint presentation. Approximate length is an hour and a half.
• The minimum we accept on all tours is 10 people.
• In order to comply with Health and Safety regulations all tours are for a maximum of 25 people.
• All bookings to be made through the education department.
• All tours are dependent upon permission being granted from the visiting production company and Norwich Theatre Royal’s technical department.
• Tours are available Monday – Friday only, show times dependent.
• If any of your group has mobility problems or listening impairments this information should be declared before the tour is finalised so alternative arrangements to the tour can be made.
• Risk Assessments are available but pre-event risk assessment visits can be arranged, if desired.
• Tours can be tailored to your needs. For example, if you are putting on a production at your school and would like to see how a professional theatre operates from a technical perspective then we can arrange for theatre technicians to demonstrate some of Norwich Theatre Royal’s equipment.
• All tours cost £3.50 per adult and £2.50 per child. Teachers will not be charged when booking as part of a school group.
