Royal Festival Hall
The Royal Festival hall is one of the worlds leading performance venues. It was opened in 1951 as a part of the festival of Britain. It has an auditorium, the Salson poetry library, the Clore Ballroom, the Southbank centre shop and many places to eat and drink. What surprised me was that it was free to go there, this is good as this invites the public to go and see what takes place their. It has also been refurbished and reopened in June 2007 after 2 years of refurbishment, and is now bigger and better then it was before. They have many events and exhibitions taking place and they don’t usually run for a long period of time so it would be smart to check before hand the shows that take place. They also have a variety of art forms like:
- Orchestral
- Chamber
- Rock and Pop
- Contemporary classical
- Talks & debates
So it assists everybody’s needs. In conclusion I think the Royal Festival Hall would be a good day out for anyone.
The Royal Festival Hall can be found at Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 8XX
