The Royal Albert Hall is the world’s most famous stage with an unrivalled history of performance.  Well over a million people each year attend events at the Hall, which in turn are enjoyed globally by many millions more through broadcasts and live recordings.  Since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, the Hall has been home to every type of event imaginable.

Our engaging and entertaining guided tours offer a number of different opportunities for groups to learn about the Hall’s colourful past; its unique architecture and unparalleled entertainment history.  Visits will include access to the main auditorium (with a chance to experience it from the comforts of a private box) and the Royal Retiring Room.  On rare occasions we also offer groups the chance to witness the unseen workings ‘behind the scenes’.  On these tours you will discover how events are loaded in and out of the building two storeys below ground as well as the opportunity of visiting one of our many dressing rooms.

Finally, during daylight saving months only, we offer a combined tour of the Hall and the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens opposite the building.
