Get closer to the craft behind Royal Exchange theatre-making.

Alongside Mythic Reinvention: 50 Years of Costume and Craft, we’re opening up the skills, techniques and backstage processes behind the costumes you see on our stage with a series of workshops and tours this autumn.

Get hands-on with embellishment, discover the specialist craft of corsetry, delve into the gruesome world of theatrical special effects, or head backstage to see how costume comes to life at the Royal Exchange.

Whether you want to learn a new skill, develop your own practice or simply discover more about what happens behind the scenes, each event offers a different way to explore the artistry and craftsmanship at the heart of theatre-making.

Explore the full programme below and find the workshop or tour for you.
