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.
