Venue Information

Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall is one of the world's most famous stages. Its breath-taking auditorium hosts over 380 shows a year by the world's greatest artists across all genres. The magical atmosphere combined with inspired artists creates legendary events.
Opened in 1871 as part of Prince Albert's vision for a centre for the Arts and Sciences, the Hall is a registered charity which operates without public revenue funding, remaining true to his founding ambitions within a modern context. Extending the brand with 200 events annually outside the auditorium in the state-of-the-art Elgar Room, the Hall has broadened its appeal to younger, diverse audiences. It also has regular daytime tours and works extensively with schools, young people, disadvantaged groups and partners such as Music For Youth through its Education programme.
