With an exclusive Behind the Scenes tour, PLASA Media is offering a unique opportunity for you to take a privileged technical tour of two of London’s best-known entertainment institutions - the wonderfully atmospheric and newly refurbished Royal Albert Hall, and the fascinating Tussauds Group Studios, the creative heart of the world-famous visitor attraction specialist.

Behind the Scenes will take place on Thursday 12 September, immediately following the PLASA Show at Earls Court - one of the highlights of the entertainment technology industry calendar. As a participant in the tour, you will be transported by coach from Earls Court Exhibition Hall to the Royal Albert Hall, where you will be conducted on a backstage tour encompassing the breadth of the venue’s recently-completed £70 million refurbishment. The tour will take you through front-of-house and the historic auditorium, to the extensive state-of-the-art dimming installation and new loading bay - just two days before the RAH plays host to the renowned Last Night of the Proms. There will also be a chance for an informal chat with the technical crew . . .

This will be followed by lunch and a coach ride to the Tussauds Group Studios, where Behind the Scenes continues with a unique and truly exclusive tour. This will include the demonstration of a wax model being created from sculpting to wardrobe, with a chance for questions and answers, followed by an opportunity to hear first-hand from the technical designers how the many different projects and attractions of the Tussauds Group are put together, from concept through to completion, incorporating lighting, sound and visual design.

The cost for the day is just £75.00. We have limited availability for this tour, and demand is expected to be high - so don’t miss this great opportunity to get Behind the Scenes in London . . . book early to ensure your place.
