How you can support the Royal Albert Hall through the COVID pandemic
Last updated: 17 September 2020
This extended closure has put the Royal Albert Hall, like many other venues, in a perilous situation. We were also unable to apply for any of the grants under the Government’s rescue package.
We are extremely grateful to everyone who has supported us since we closed our doors in March. If you can, please consider standing with us and help to ensure that our doors remain open, inspiring artists and audiences worldwide, for another 150 years.
Without shows on we have lost our major source of funding, but there remains a number of ways you can continue to support the Royal Albert Hall during this crisis:
↪ Donate online
↪ Donate by text (UK only)
↪ Become a Friend of the Hall
↪ Voucher credits – buy now spend later
↪ Buy Royal Albert Hall merchandise
↪ Buy event prints
↪ Buy tickets
↪ Stream concerts
↪ Talk to our Philanthropy team

In normal times, Friends of the Royal Albert Hall receive priority booking on most events at the Hall, as well as benefits and discounts at the Hall itself.
Current benefits include regular updates about activities and online performances from the Hall and a 15% discount on our online shop.
Credit vouchers
Simply speaking, this puts money in the bank for the Royal Albert Hall now when we most need it, and lets you enjoy our building when we’re open for events again.
Online shop
We still have a range of retail products available to order online. All proceeds will support the Hall through this hard time. Our steward bear has proved particularly popular recently!
Event prints
For over 10 years top music photographer Christie Goodwin has been capturing some of the world’s most famous artists on our stage.
Now, for the first time, an exceptional range of prints of some of her work, including shots of Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop, Joan Baez and David Gilmour, can be ordered to your specification.
Buy tickets
With so many of this year’s events rescheduled there are tickets available to watch some of the biggest names in music in 2021 and 2022.
Stream concerts
Our Royal Albert Home season has seen over 40 artists deliver exclusive sets to support the venue.
You can watch them all on demand now and subscribe to our YouTube channel!
