St Andrew’s Hall is a fabulous concert venue. It has featured strongly in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival calendar since 1824, has hosted orchestras from Britten Sinfonia to the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and is the main residence for the Norwich Philharmonic Society. It also hosts a regular array of performances by established jazz, brass, rock and pop acts.
The stage is fixed and can be extended out into the auditorium by either 6ft, or 8ft. It also has a retractable tiered gallery which can be used to hold a choir of 150, supporting an orchestra of 100 on stage.
Blackfriars’ Hall can support functions in the main hall by acting either as a VIP reception to the main event, or as a green room for the visiting band, orchestra or support staff. Alternatively, for more intimate acoustic concerts such as piano recitals, Blackfriars’ Hall can be used as a performance space in its own right.
The Halls’ fully licensed bar can be opened pre-show, during the interval and post-show recovering its costs from sales, so there is no cost passed on to you.
