Halifax Playhouse Heritage Tour

The Heritage Open Day provides visitors the chance to see behind the scenes of Halifax Playhouse; discovering places where the general public would not normally go. It’s a chance to see what it’s like to stand on a stage; how the high tech sound and lighting equipment is used to enhance performances and understand the huge amount of work and fun that goes into putting on shows and running a vibrant theatre.
