Have you always wanted to see behind the scenes at your local theatre? Well here's your chance!
Come for a tour, a coffee or a chat - we will welcome you with open arms. No booking required, just turn up.
Tours will run in groups of up to 8, and should run every 10-15 minutes. You shouldn't have to wait long to make up a group, depending on tour guide availability. Last tours will leave at 13:30.
Our pantomime tickets will also go on sale the same day - from 11am in person, and from 2pm online.
Even if you have already visited the Playhouse, this is a unique opportunity to discover how The Lindley Players put on shows, meet the dedicated people that keep the theatre running and maybe even find a new hobby!
Guided tours of the Playhouse will include the dressing rooms, studio, lighting and sound control room, the stage, workshop and wardrobe. The technical aspects of producing a show will be demonstrated, this will include lighting, sound, properties and make-up. Refreshments, including a licensed bar will be available.
Families are welcome - we find that children are especially fascinated with what goes on behind the scenes. Our approach is to provide a relaxed tour so that people can determine themselves how long they wish to spend with us. Well behaved dogs welcome but must be kept on a lead.
The Playhouse is about ten minutes walk from the Whitstable railway station. It is in the High Street and can be easily seen. There is a car park at the rear of the Playhouse in Middle Wall which is operated by Canterbury Council
We have limited wheelchair access but you are welcome to see parts of the theatre and come and chat with us - wheelchair access is available to the bar and dressing room areas and a chair lift up to the upper foyer. There are three steps from the upper foyer to the auditorium. There are small staircases and spiral staircases to the stage and workshop areas.
