Come hear about the history of London’s oldest new theatre that was hidden from the world for 80 years!

Originally opened in 1875, this historical venue witnessed a myriad of performances, from grand operas to riveting plays and musical spectacles. However, in 1935, it closed its curtains to the public for eight whole decades. Following a five year multi-million-pound restoration project, the theatre emerged from its decades-long slumber, reopening its doors to eager audiences in 2018. Preserved in a beautiful state of arrested decay and frozen in time, the work has created a space that retains the charm and character of the Victorian theatre while being fit to host cutting-edge contemporary productions.

Now, in our 150th year, explore this captivating and unique space as our tour guides lead you through the enchanting realms of Alexandra Palace Theatre, unravelling the past, delving into its vibrant present, and offering a glimpse into its promising future.
