As part of the Heritage Open Days festival, an exclusive virtual tour of the old music halls, theatres and cinemas of Aldershot will be available for free.

The online tour will give an insight into the story of how the population of Aldershot, Hampshire, has been entertained over the last 165 years and will cover venues including the Palace Cinema and the Hippodrome Theatre.

“Entertaining Aldershot” can be viewed as a virtual online tour from the comfort of an armchair, or alternatively can be walked with the Izi.Travel app on a smartphone.

This will be the first year that Heritage Open Days has included digital events.

Annie Reilly, head of producing at Heritage Open Days, said: “We have seen some ingenious approaches to culture going digital recently, and we’re excited by the potential for Heritage Open Days, not least of all because so many more people will be able to experience the festival regardless of where they are in the country.”

Full details and links will be on the Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum website from the start of the Heritage Open Days Festival on September 11.
