Please meet your Arts and Humanities representatives, Linda Anderson, by 10:45 am in the foyer of the Main Entrance.
Opened in 1871 and well known for the annual Proms Concerts, the building has been host to a wide range of activists, athletes and artists. From being the Suffragettes ‘Temple of Liberty’, to speeches by Winston Churchill and, more recently, shows by Beyoncé and Cirque du Solie.
During The Royal Albert Hall Tour you will discover how the building was founded 150 years ago, the royal love story that made it happen, and how it solved one of the UK’s most enduring engineering challenges – the Royal Albert Hall echo. This tour will also include certain behind-the-scenes elements such as the royal areas, including the royal box and entrance. And, possibly, see an artist rehearsing.
The tour will last for approximately 1 hour.
Members of the group will receive 10% off items bought in the Café Bar or Verdi – Italian Kitchen.
Directions: Getting here and parking - Royal Albert Hall
