The Wolverhampton Grand Theatre in the West Midlands has added a history tour and talk at Wightwick Manor to its programme for 26 March 2026. This event offers local residents a chance to learn about the architecture and heritage of one of the city’s most significant historic homes.
The event is being run as part of the Friends of the Grand membership scheme. Members can attend the tour and talk for free, although the theatre has stated that places are limited and anyone wishing to go must book their spot ahead of time.
Wightwick Manor was built between 1887 and 1893 for the Mander family and is now looked after by the National Trust. The house is famous for its collection of Pre-Raphaelite art and its interiors which were designed in the Arts and Crafts style.
This session is part of an effort by the theatre to provide cultural experiences that go beyond traditional stage shows. It allows members to explore the local history of Wolverhampton while engaging with the city’s heritage sites.
