Charity
More than just a venue
As well as hosting performances by many of the world’s finest artists, the Royal Albert Hall is also a charity with four areas of work:
- Maintaining and developing our beautiful Grade 1 listed building
- Supporting a thriving Education & Outreach programme giving access to music, arts and sciences to thousands of people each year
- Preserving a publically accessible Archive of the Hall which charts the social history of Britain since our doors first opened in 1871
- Encouraging and developing new talent through our own programming initiatives
The Hall also supports many other charities by offering reduced rental rates for their fundraising events. We do all of this without revenue funding from central or local government.
