    We had a fantastic time at the festival theatre seeing the CBeebies panto- beauty and the beast. The theatre has a lovely atmosphere, we had a great view and loved them music and photo opportunities before the show.

    Theatre lovers! Amazing behind the scenes theatre tour at Edinburgh Festival Theatre with Graham Simpson, who has worked at the theatre his whole career and has fantastic knowledge - and so many stories! So much history and colour - and even a special ghost story that you MUST HEAR! Thanks so much Graham and Festival Theatre team! 😊
