The House is Open

Watch the original Theatre wall transform before your eyes in this exclusive pre-show mapped projection film, marking the architectural changes of our building, played 30 mins before each evening performance

Developed alongside Limbic Cinema, Aardman have crafted this wildly insightful and fun-filled film to highlight the architectural transformations of our building. Projection-mapped onto the original 1766 wall of our theatre, this striking animation is played before the start of every evening show to let our audiences know that 'The House Is Open!'

The House is Open plays before every evening show in the main auditorium.
