Become a Friend
As a charity with no regular government funding we rely on the income from our shows, and with no shows due to our closure we find ourselves in a perilous financial situation.
Please join us today as a Friend or Patron and join the thousands who are committing to support the Royal Albert Hall through the COVID-19 crisis.
