Backstage at the Theatre Royal Brighton

It's been a busy week/month for Brighton and what a big party weeked. The 2011 Food & Drinks festival with live food shows, wine, champagne & tea tastings, cheese bowling, chilli eating and our very own Oktober fest is on-going until 4 October. It was also the Heritage Open Days this weekend with historical architectures opening to the public, providing free tours and walks around these heritage buildings in locations nationwide. 

The Theatre Royal in Brighton reveals its secrets to the public as part of the Heritage Open Days. I was lucky enough to not have to work that day and got a ticket to this free tour. Jade who works at the theatre  gave us a very informative tour packed with interesting history of Brighton, the theatre and stories of its owners, workers (fishermen), actors & actresses and the audiences...I don't think this is a running tour, hopefully after seeing Friday's big demand they will do this more regularly - should increase ticket sales for the shows too.
