Our tours and experiences bring the story of the Abbey Theatre to life. Choose the option that best suits you below and discover the secrets behind our plays, our history and our iconic building.

National Theatre Tours 

With our hour long tours, you can learn more about the history of the National Theatre of Ireland, explore our 1960s building and see how plays go from page to stage. You can find our more information and book your tickets here.

Theatre Workshops 

Our Theatre Workshops are led by experienced theatre-makers and are built on collaboration and creativity. We design our workshops to be group specific, tailored for secondary school/Transition Year programmes, university students, international students or specialty interest focused groups. Workshops may be text focused, or performance driven depending on the group. All of our workshops are immersive and interactive and require no theatre experience.
