Royal Albert Hall

Overview

The Royal Albert Hall is one of the world’s most famous stages. Opened by Queen Victoria in 1871, the Hall is a registered charity which receives no public funding. Each year it hosts over 360 events which include classical music, jazz, world music, circus, rock, pop, opera, dance, comedy, tennis, dinners, award ceremonies and the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

It offers daytime tours, a shop, café, lunchtime jazz and world music in the Café Consort and a free exhibition series as well as a wide range of events from intimate comedy and jazz to classical recitals in the Elgar Room.

As part of the Hall's charitable remit, it has an extensive innovative education programme.
