New Theatre Royal Portsmouth

Discover the fascinating history of the beautiful New Theatre Royal from 1856 to the present day and get a chance to see the secrets of a Phipps/Matcham Theatre in operation. Learn about people and events that have shaped the theatre's history and piece together the theatre's compelling history.

The theatre is an architectural gem that represents the work of two renowned 19th Century theatre architects: Charles Phipps and Frank Matcham. Learn about the famous faces that have appeared over the years, the decline and subsequent rebuild of the theatre and the secrets that lie beyond the doors. Be guided through the theatre on a historic journey with our tour guide to see parts of the theatre not usually visited by the public.

These tours have been specially designed to be accessible for all, using lifts rather than stairs, to allow even those using wheelchairs access to areas not usually seen by the general public.
