Tour of the Royal Albert Hall!

Come along on Saturday 7th February for a tour of the Royal Albert Hall!

About the event
The Royal Albert Hall was built to fulfil the vision of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's consort) of a "Central Hall' that would be used to promote understanding and appreciation of the Arts and Sciences and would stand at the heart of the South Kensington estate, surrounded by museums and places of learning".

The Hall is a Grade I Listed building; and has been in continuous use since it opened in March 1871. It can seat 5,272 people. The list of famous performers and world figures who have appeared at the Royal Albert Hall since it opened is unrivalled.
Wagner, Verdi and Elgar conducted the first UK performance of their own works on its concert platform. The list of popular music artists who have performed here includes Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Oscar Peterson, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Sting and Elton John.

Among leading world figures who have spoken at the Hall are The Queen, Sir Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Albert Einstein. It has also been used to host film premiere's as well as sporting events like tennis and boxing.
