Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds was designed and built in 1819 by William Wilkins. With many of its original features still intact, it is a superb example of a Regency playhouse and one of the most beautiful, intimate and historic theatres in the world.

We offer you the chance to discover and experience some of the history of the theatre through behind-the-scenes tours, take a look at the selection of tours we offer at www.theatreroyal.org/tours.

Why not take one of the theatre's brand new Close Encounters: Live Interactive Tours. The Tours which run on Saturdays from April 13 to  September 7  bring the theatre’s history to life with a chance to meet prominent characters from the past in situ, dressed and behaving as they would have been when they were originally at the theatre.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bury St Edmunds and its Regency jewel.
