Heritage Open Day Theatre Tours

Every September thousands of volunteers across England organise events to celebrate our fantastic history and culture. This weekend is your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – all of which are FREE to explore to celebrate the weekend.

The Mercury has seen many famous faces perform on its stages since the theatre opened in 1972. Let us take you behind the scenes to explore the backstage secrets of what makes a spectacular Mercury production.

Your guide will take you on a journey through our amazing spaces including the rehearsal room, wardrobe and workshop.

Why not make the most of your theatre tour by ending the café bar with a delicious afternoon tea and bubbles?
