Behind-the-scenes tours of the Oxford Apollo theatre are being organised to raise funds for the NSPCC.

Theatre-lovers are being invited to take a trip back in time with a guided tour of the George Street building.

Three tours take place on May 10, at 1pm, 1.45pm and 2.30pm.

Each tour covers the theatre's early years as The New Theatre, the devastating fire of 1892, and how it was rebuilt in 1933.

The event has been organised as part of an NSPCC fundraising week by the entertainment industry.

There is a minimum donation of £2. To join a tour, simply turn up at the theatre five minutes early.
