Discover more about Frank Matcham’s sumptuous nineteenth century theatre.

Visit the oldest working Matcham Victorian theatre, now a prized historical, architectural and theatrical treasure in the heart of Cheltenham. Learn about the rich history of the theatre, its founding in Regency Cheltenham and its theatrical pedigree with a special fully-guided backstage tour.

The tour peeks into the star dressing rooms, offers a bird's eye view from the fly floor high above the stage, and visits Cheltenham’s best-kept secret: the Irving Studio Theatre. Explore the heart of the theatre under the stage where secret trapdoors can be seen, before finally stepping onto the Everyman stage to take in the splendour of the beautifully restored auditorium. Take a bow - you can almost hear the applause!

Book now to discover more about the Everyman Theatre’s story. Get a close-up look at the fully restored Frank Matcham-designed auditorium, and see what a day in the life of a working theatre is like.

Please note: tour routes and backstage areas visited will vary depending on the show that week as we are a busy working theatre.

The Everyman can also offer tours and talks for groups. To book a group tour call Sally-ann Rhodes on 01242 695574 or email sally-ann.rhodes@everymantheatre.org.uk.
