Circa Theatre Historical Tours

A Wellington Heritage Week 2023 event! Discover and celebrate the 47-year history of Wellington’s iconic Circa Theatre through a free, one-hour guided tour of Wellington’s foyer and backstage area at 1 Taranaki St.

A Circa Councillor will take you on a unique guided tour of this historic building, including rarely seen backstage areas. Learn about the fascinating building move from 7 Harris Street to 1 Taranaki Street – including how the facade of 120-year-old Westport Chambers was trucked across the road and the new theatre built in behind it.

The one-hour tours will run at 1pm daily from Mon 23 – Fri 27 October and there will be two tours on Sat 28 October at 11am and 1pm.

Max 20 people per tour and bookings are essential.

There will be opportunities to join as a ‘Friend of Circa’ on the day at a special reduced rate.
