Public Building Tours

Learn more more about Manchester’s iconic international concert venue, The Bridgewater Hall. Our entertaining and knowledgeable tour guides will lead you through the building’s history, its acoustics and architecture, as well as giving you access to parts of the building not usually open to the public. We also run regular Organ Tours and tours with BSL.

Please note that the undercroft is accessed by two flights of metal steps. Unfortunately there is no step-free access to this part of the building; all other areas are fully accessible.

Due to operational restrictions on performance days, some Back of House areas of the Hall will not be accessible on buildings tours.

The tour will last for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes starting at the Information Desk. Please note that tours sometimes take place when the Hall is otherwise closed.
