The team at the Grand Opera House are thrilled to welcome the public to a different perspective than the audience – in a series of engaging and enjoyable events this autumn.

Josh Brown, venue director said, “We’re excited to be able to give people more opportunities to experience the venue like never before, whether that be to tread the boards at the West-End workshop with Jodie or learn more about the venue’s spooky history at the Torchlight Ghost Tours.”
