Visit to Broadcasting House

Clive

Following last years popular visit to BBC Television Centre we have arranged a visit to BBC Broadcasting House, the home of broadcast radio in this country.

 Built in 1932, Broadcasting House was the UK's first ever purpose-built broadcast centre, and it is now undergoing major restoration and modernisation. Tours (which last approximately one and a half hours) focus on the newly restored art deco building, and feature famous heritage spaces as well as the latest digital workspaces.

Walk the famous corridors and take a peek into the newly restored Radio Theatre and the Council Chamber. See into some of the radio studios used by your favourite radio  programmes. And you might even be able to have a go at making your own radio drama, complete with music and sound effects!

Meet outside BBC Broadcasting House, Portland Place , London at 2pm prompt. (Underground to Oxford Circus,  five-minute walk north up Regent Street).

To book a place on the tour, please send £9.50 to Dave P.


Wednesday 27th January
