The Royal Albert Hall has been at the forefront of music and live performance since 1871.

The world’s leading figures in music, dance, sport and politics have appeared on our stage, and now over 1.7 million people enjoy live experiences here every year, with millions more experiencing our events through broadcasts, recordings and new media channels. Our iconic venue is open to the public during the day through tours of the building and free exhibitions, and is home to the Elgar Room, a state-of-the art small-scale performance space which gives a platform to young and emerging talent. Our public benefit work is of paramount importance to us. Our Education & Outreach programme reaches 180,000 people each year of all ages and backgrounds. We also work closely with other charities and charity events, and we arrange performances at day centres and hospices; free music, exhibitions and events. Your support is vital to help us recover from the impact of the global pandemic, so we can continue to enrich people’s lives through music, nurture tomorrow’s artists, and make our extraordinary building open to as many people as possible.
