We offer two types of sessions at DRAFT simultaneously - the collaboration zone and the quiet zone.

Come along for a behind-the-scenes tour of Malvern Theatres
Taking place on regular Sundays during the year, theatre tours offer a great opportunity to visit areas of the building not normally accessible to the public. See behind-the-scenes in all three auditoria: The Festival Theatre, Forum Theatre and Cinema, plus check out the new Studio One space. Stand on the Festival Theatre stage and gaze out into the 850-seat auditorium as you soak up the fascinating story of this historic venue. Take a peek into the dressing rooms used by some of the most famous names in theatre and get an insight into how your favourite shows are staged.
Lasting around 1hr 45mins and led by an experienced tour guide ready to share anecdotes and answer your questions, each theatre tour will end with a cream tea in the Bistro Café.
The price of the tour includes a souvenir brochure detailing the history of Malvern Theatres.
Next date: Sunday 4 May, 1.30pm
