Quick Inspiration
Yes. It’s not just posh concerts and classical music – the Hall hosts loads of family-friendly shows like the CBeebies Proms, Paddington concerts, Cirque de Soleil, classical matinees, and movie nights with full orchestras.
Teens love the epic feel of the venue – especially at ‘film-with-orchestra’ events (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings), comedy gigs, or live music performances. Bonus: it’s seriously Insta-worthy.
Some events offer under-16s discounts or family ticket bundles. Check their website or ring the box office for current offers. Signing up to their newsletter can unlock early access and special pricing.
Yes, several cafés and kiosks inside offer sandwiches, cakes, and hot meals. There are kids’ options and snacks for the pre-show munchies. Feeling fancy? Why not book Afternoon tea?
Absolutely. There’s step-free access, lifts, accessible toilets, baby-changing, hearing loops, and visual guides for some performances. Staff are excellent at helping families navigate the space.
Perfect. It’s elegant, iconic and easy to get around. Grandparents will love the nostalgia (and the comfy seating). There’s something magical about sharing a performance across generations.
Nope, wear whatever’s comfortable. Some people dress up, but plenty don’t. Just no hats inside the auditorium.
Yes, in the foyers and public spaces, but not during performances unless specifically allowed. The building itself is photo gold.
Yes, it’s packed with musical souvenirs, creative gifts, and show-themed merch. Expect music-themed toys, instruments, postcards and the occasional posh pencil.
