Miss Lillian commences her tour from the forecourt of the Opera House and then proceeds through the Pavilion Gardens to the site of one of the older theatres in the town at the foot of Hall Bank. Whilst here, she explains about the site of other theatres before making her way back by the Old Clubhouse to the Pavilion Arts Centre. Formerly the Hippodrome and prior to that the Entertainment stage, Miss Lily takes the opportunity to name drop and explain more about the forerunner to the Opera House.
Returning to the magnificent Opera House she brings her audience up to date from her first performance in 1903 to the vibrant theatre of 2024.
