Would you like an exclusive tour of the Palace Theatre, Manchester's oldest and most beautiful theatre.
Home to some of the biggest names in theatre and entertainment over the last 130 years. From Hamilton to Houdini, Manchester’s Palace Theatre has played host to the likes of Judy Garland, Charlie Chaplin, Luciano Pavarotti, Noel Coward and Laurel and Hardy gracing the stage. Even Rochdale’s own Gracie Fields has taken to the Palace Theatre’s stage and if you aren’t sure exactly how impressive that cast list is you might have to ask your parents / Grandparents.
The tour will be led by one of the expert Creative Learning team from Ambassador Theatre Group and will delve into the history of the building (including its fabled ghosts) as well as take a look at the different types of theatre careers that the building houses. The tour will include access to the spectacular auditorium and other areas of the building not usually open to the public.
These exclusive tours are completely free to attend but places are limited so apply now!
