There has been an ongoing renovation and improvement programme which has successfully brought it back to its’ original Art Deco state. We will have a behind the scenes tour, showcasing all that goes into the presentation of productions at this venue and what the general public does not normally see. After this interesting tour we will have a Soup/Sandwich lunch followed by tea/coffee in their beautiful A
