National Theatre Tours

About

Take a guided tour of the National Theatre and discover the secrets of one of the most iconic buildings on the South Bank. Led by one of our expert guides, our 75-minute tour takes you on a journey behind the scenes to see what’s being made in our on-site carpentry, props and scenic painting workshops, and discover how we create our world-class productions. Each Guided Tour is a unique experience and varies according to what is available on the day. As a busy working theatre, our routes may be altered at short notice, but we can promise that our expert guides will always make it an unforgettable visit. Public Tours run 11:30 & 17:00 Mon-Friday and 11:30 & 12:00 on Saturdays. If you are bringing a group of 10 or more and wish to arrange a private tour e-mail - Tours@nationaltheatre.org.uk.
