It will also be possible to peek inside the derelict Victorian theatre and there will be organ demonstrations throughout the day. The open day also provides another opportunity to view the exhibition which recently toured the borough. Giving an insight into the history of Alexandra Palace and Park, it also provides the chance for people to give their views on how it could be developed in the future. Visitors can also take the opportunity to find out about hiring rooms and halls at Alexandra Palace for meetings, weddings, parties and other occasions. "This is a great opportunity for the local community to get a taste of all that Alexandra Palace has to offer and the way we interact with groups, associations and other organisations in Haringey," said Cllr Pat Egan, Chair of Alexandra Palace & Park Board of Trustees. "We hope to welcome lots of people and most especially those who may not realise what a great asset having Ally Pally on their doorstep is."
