Tour details
The Victorian Experience lasts 1 hour 45 minutes.
Groups will take an entertaining and illuminating tour of the building, viewing the auditorium from one of the private boxes, exploring the different front of house areas and discovering what it would have been like to see a show here or work in the Hall when it first opened over 140 years ago.
Additionally, children will take part in a classroom-based interactive workshop, which includes artefact handling, role-play and the opportunity to have photos taken in front of our new Samsung green screen and see themselves on the Hall's famous stage, or visiting the Hall when it was first built.
Tour dates
The Victorian Experience will be running on the following dates in 2014:

You don't need to bring anything to the session; costumes and materials will be provided. However, children (and staff!) will be expected to conduct themselves in the manner of Victorian visitors, so please come prepared to travel back in time!
We can take a group of up to 40 children (divided in to two groups of 20), accompanied by a minimum ratio of 1 teacher/adult to 10 pupils, with a minimum of 2 adults at each session.
There are two sessions per advertised day, starting at 10.30am and 1pm.
Unfortunately, due to space restrictions within the building, we are unable to offer lunch-space to groups.
