‘Extraordinary performances in a breath-taking space’

Join us for an unforgettable, intimate tour beneath the earth, where you’ll marvel at beautifully illuminated, rock-sculpted galleries while enjoying stunning highlights from iconic operas. The experience begins with a glass of fizz just outside the Roman Chamber of Poole’s Cavern.

From there, you’ll be guided through the breath-taking underground passages, rich in stalactites, stalagmites, and fascinating history. Please wear sturdy footwear and bring warm clothing. The first half of the tour is wheelchair accessible, but unfortunately, the final section is not suitable for those with mobility challenges.
