Sections available in Barbican Theatre

Barbican Theatre Stalls

Stalls

The Stalls form an uninterrupted block of seating without a central aisle, accessible through doors at both ends of each row. Rows gently curve at the ends, offering a slight side view of the stage. The Barbican presents a modern auditorium with 17 rows accommodating up to 49 seats each, along with 2 Boxes at the rear and standing room.

Barbican Theatre Circle

Circle

Positioned directly above the Stalls, the Circle at this venue is predominantly occupied by seats in Row A and B, with seats AA to HH situated on the sides for a partial side view of the stage. Notably, the Circle features no central aisle, and its unobstructed view is preserved as it remains unaffected by the sections above.

Barbican Theatre Upper Circle

Upper Circle

The Upper Circle replicates the layout of the Circle but offers an unobstructed view without a Gallery overhang. Organized into two elongated rows, A and B, the seating configuration places seats AA to EE on both sides of the stage, allowing for a side-angle view of the performance. Rows A and B emerge as excellent options for those prioritizing affordability without sacrificing visibility.

Barbican Theatre Gallery

Gallery

Within the Gallery, discover Rows A and B, each featuring six seats on both sides in Rows AA and BB, granting a side view of the stage. Access your seats through doors on either side with no central aisle in this section. While the Gallery provides a unique perspective, it's important to note that it may occasionally convey a sense of distance from the primary action on the stage.
