Always a great place for a live concert. But if you enjoy light classical music and a great atmosphere, then the Annual 'Classical Spectacular' is the one concert you simply must not miss! Absolutely top world class evening! 5 stars.

Seeing a performance at the royal albert hall is simply an experience like no other. Bathing in the overwhelming aura of grandiose architecture, It's almost difficult to focus on the event. That's until the music starts of course. Resounding around you from above and the stage, it's quite simply and...

Lovey place to visit.

Lovey place to visit.
But the Christmas orchestral adventure was not what we expected.
Was mainly for the under 12 Year old.
More like a pantomime but not as funny.
Expected more Christmas music than we got.
Should have been displayed on your site when booking.

The auditorium is beautiful and the swivel seats afforded a great view without a stiff neck. However, the bar food is expensive and there was nowhere to sit as there were too many guests with no purchased food or drink taking up seats - front of house staff need to move them on.

A wonderful venue for all styles of musical events and shows. Acoustics are good. Bars and restaurants on site with wide choice staff are really helpful. My last visit was the Mark Knopfler concert who played many of the Dire Straits songs plus great songs from later albums. Just magnificent.
