 | Hire the Barbican Hall
The Barbican Hall is available to hire for performances and has a capacity of 1949. There are no smaller concert venues available for hire at the Barbican Centre.
The foyers are only available for performances when they are booked alongside the Hall - for instance for a foyer pre-concert performance. We do not currently operate a separate foyer performance programme.
Date allocation
The Barbican Hall has a very busy programme, with over 270 concerts per year, and is used several days every month for business conferences and graduations.
We operate a priority booking system and our resident orchestra and associate promoters have priority for Hall bookings. We have a policy of allocating any additional rental dates for the Hall approximately 12 months in advance of an event, subject to availability.
Not all events will be suitable for the Hall in terms of profile or size, and because there are generally very few dates available to hire in the Hall, we are selective in the projects that we can accommodate.
Registering interest in hiring
You can register your interest in hire of the Hall at any time. An outline of the project should be submitted in writing or email indicating your preferred dates or time period. Please include as much information about the project as possible, including artists, repertoire, the number of performers involved and who will be the promoter. Please also let us know of any technical requirements, to ensure that what you are planning is feasible within the time available.
