Heritage Open Morning

Join us for a special occasion as we celebrate our rich history and vibrant culture at Mayflower Theatre’s Heritage Open Morning. This is a wonderful opportunity to delve into the fascinating story of one of the south coast’s most iconic theatres.

During the event, you will be treated to a visual heritage talk, where you can discover the intriguing past of the theatre, from its origins in the 1920s to its place today as a much-loved cultural venue. Learn about the architectural changes, memorable productions, and the people who have shaped the theatre’s journey over the decades.

You will also have the chance to explore behind the scenes with a short guided tour. Go beyond the stage and take a look at areas not usually open to the public, including parts of the backstage and technical spaces. This experience offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a busy live performance venue.

Whether you’re a lifelong supporter or visiting for the first time, we welcome you to share in the story of Mayflower Theatre.
