Fancy stepping onto Scotland’s biggest stage? Curious about life behind the curtain? Eager to explore the history of Edinburgh’s oldest theatre site?

Our backstage tours are the perfect way to spark interest in the world of theatre. We reserve special days each year for school visits, and they fill up fast—so reach out today!

Along with our show wraparound experiences, we’re excited to offer our core workshops for Primary and Secondary.

Created with input from Edinburgh schools and young people, these workshops are designed to boost creativity, build practical skills in the performing arts, and support curriculum learning in areas of the industry that can be harder to reach.

With a fantastic pool of Engagement Artists across different industry fields, we are also happy to explore requests for workshops in areas to suit your learning needs.

These can be arranged in:

• Set & Costume Design
• Stage Management
• Technical Theatre
• Devising
• Directing
• Puppetry
• Dance

Workshops usually cost £150.00 per session, and can be delivered at the theatre or the school. Discounts are available when booking multiple sessions.

We’re always happy to meet with young people and share our experiences of working life in the arts.

Whether you’re hosting a careers fair, talk, speed networking event, or something more informal, our inbox is always open!
