Visitors invited to go behind the scenes at historic Halifax venue this autumn

Victoria Theatre is offering behind-the-scenes tours to visitors this autumn, offering visitors the chance to hear fascinating stories about the venue.

The tours will take place on September 24, October 8, and October 26.

During the tours, visitors will be able to step onto the stage, learn how a stage is managed, and see the dressing rooms which have been used by the stars over the theatre’s rich history.

The guided tours will explore the venue’s architecture, secret passages, history, and performances over the years.

The grade II listed building opened in 1901, first as a concert hall, and was later used as a cinema until 1953.

It was purchased in 1960 by the Halifax Corporation and a stage was installed, and it was renamed The Victoria Theatre in 1993.

Huge names have played there over the years, including The Stone Roses, Status Quo, Morrissey, and The Jackson 5.
