Tours of The Anvil are available to groups of up to around thirty people depending on the availability of the building (it is not possible to book tours on dates when there is a performance at The Anvil, please refer to our What's On section before contacting us).
Your group will see the backstage area, including dressing rooms, the foyers and the main auditorium. If you have any particular areas of study that we can support, then please let us know.
For older groups this can be continued with a careers talk, please contact our Community Engagement Manager for more information.
Tours are free to schools but, as we are a charity, donations are always welcomed.
Get in touch to discuss availability.
