Tickets & Times

The theatre was built in 1867 by industrialist and politician, Joseph Cowen. The Grade I listed building is a unique creation of that era. With its lavish auditorium, outstanding acoustics and understage machinery, the Tyne Theatre produced entertainment that amazed the audiences of the time and brought them back asking for more.

The tour of the building (lasting approximately 1hr 15m) will explore all areas, including the understage, backstage and many other areas never seen on a normal visit. Your tour guide will reveal the theatre’s fascinating history, and highlight tales of its stars and even its ghosts.

Tours cost £12.50 which includes a hot drink at the end of the tour in the theatre’s cafe 1867.

Visitors with restricted mobility will have limited access. Tour includes lots of steps and comfortable shoes are recommended.
