Hexabition Tours

16 Sep 2023-17 Sep 2023

Book in for an exclusive VIP Tour of The Hexagon. 

These guided tours will take you through doors and into spaces that would normally be NO ENTRY to the general public. See the auditorium from the stage, explore backstage areas & dressing rooms, learn about the sound & lighting aspects of putting on the wide variety of Hexagon events and performances and even try your hand at being a follow-spot operator. 

Tour Times: 10.30am, 12pm, 2pm & 3.30pm

Tours last approx. 1 hour and must be booked in advance. Suitable for anyone aged 8+. All U18s must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
 

(Please Note: This is NOT the tour which will Meet & Greet with Nanny Bubbles - please book into these separately via the link below)
 

Accessiblility

The standard tours will include stairs, slopes and lifts, with some areas with lower head-heights. The 3.30pm tour on both Saturday and Sunday will be adjusted to accommodate wheelchair users or anyone who is not comfortable with stairs. Please book specifically for these slots if you have any access or mobility requirements.
