Fascinated by Theatre? Explore the hidden secrets of The Rep and join us on a backstage tour around our fascinating building. Take a look at spaces usually closed to the public, including our huge workshop and paint shop where we create sets from scratch.

Visit the wardrobe department to see how characters are brought to life – you may even get to rub shoulders with an actor or two!

There’s lots to see and experience in a working theatre, so tours last up to 90 minutes. Starting at 11am, it’s a great morning out!
