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.
PLUS make your day extra special by enjoying afternoon tea on the theatre stage! Package includes:
- Assortment of finger sandwiches
- Scone with jam, cream & butter
- Selection of cakes / pastries
- Selection of teas / or coffee
Please note:
- Tours last 1 hour followed by a 90 minute afternoon tea on
the theatre stage - Please arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time to sign in
at the East Court Visitor Services desk - Age restriction 14+ only (under 16s to be accompanied by an adult
