Gaiety Tour Feb 2025 – Feat. A Chat With Nick Wakeham

Explore the rich history behind The Gaiety, one of Scotland’s oldest venues, and enjoy an exclusive behind the scenes guided tour of your theatre.

All tours open with an exhibition in The Studio of Gaiety heritage items – and a chance to step back in time with some music from Johnny Beattie’s Gaiety Whirl era! This is followed by a tour of each of the public areas of The Gaiety – with an insight into the unique history of your local theatre. You’ll then be taken behind the scenes for an exclusive look backstage, in the dressing rooms – and your opportunity to tread the boards!

The tour closes with a viewing of our Gaiety Whirl film, refreshments, and a Q&A with our knowledgeable guides.

And you can now get more in-depth as each tour is themed to a specific department – featuring insider insights from our crew!
