Take a bow on a stage where the world’s greatest artists have performed, and hear about the vast artistic history of Edinburgh Playhouse on a guided backstage tour. At these 1-hour guided tours, guests are welcomed backstage, with the chance to see exactly how the magic of theatre is created behind the big red curtain. Plus, your ticket also includes a cup of tea or coffee, soft drink and a pastry in the theatre’s neighbouring bar, Little Picardy (to be used on the day of the tour). Tours do not include a show ticket. Backstage and stage access is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. Tours may be cancelled last minute due to company rehearsals or needs. Please note, the routes (which may change) are not wheelchair accessible, and involve a number of stairs and narrow corridors. Comfortable clothing and suitable shoes are recommended. Tours take place on selected dates between 11 September to 12 December 2026. Under‑16s must be accompanied by an adult.
