How to choose the best seats in the Hackney Empire seating plan?

  • Hackney Empire has a capacity of around 1,275 seats. The seating is divided into stalls, dress circle, upper circle, and gallery.
  • Rows E to K in the stalls provide the best balance of view and sound.
  • For value, front rows of the dress circle (A–C) offer excellent sightlines at lower prices.
  • Seats towards the sides of the upper circle and gallery may have restricted views due to height and distance.
  • Stalls give a more immersive experience with clear sound and closeness to the stage.
  • The dress circle offers a sweeping perspective of the stage without being too far back.
  • The upper circle and gallery are best for budget-friendly tickets, though they can feel distant.
  • For musicals, sitting further back is less of an issue as staging, music, and dance cover the full stage. For plays or dialogue-driven performances, stalls and front dress circle are recommended.

Sections available in Hackney Empire

Stalls

  • 392 capacity

  • Rows A-M & AA-XX

  • The Stalls is a level section in the front of the auditorium. It offers the best views of the stage, particularly at the Center in the middle to front rows.

  • The front-most seats are a good choice for an immersive experience but might have you straining your neck.
  • There is step-free access to the front of the Stalls and designated wheelchair seats in the rear.

Dress circle

  • 294 capacity

  • Rows A-F & Boxes H-Q

  • Dress Circle sits behind the Stalls, right above its rear standing section.
  • The elevation of this section offers a vantage point from which you can see the stage clearly and in its entirety.
  • The section wraps all the way around, with the Boxes on both ends being much closer to the stage than the Center. There is a standing-only section in the rear that often goes for cheaper rates.
  • The Boxes have wheelchair-accessible seating that is accessible via a lift.

Upper Circle

  • Rows A-G

  • Higher than the Dress Circle, this level offers a much wider view of the stage.
  • Seats in the front rows offer decent views at affordable rates, particularly toward the Center.
  • There is no accessible seating in this section though the level is accessible via a lift.

Gallery

  • 325 capacity

  • Unreserved

  • The highest section in this theater, the Gallery is an unreserved seating area above the Upper Circle.
  • The space features backless benches as opposed to the cushy seats in the rest of the theater.
  • Owing to its height and distance from the stage, these seats are not recommended for children under 14 or patrons with mobility, hearing, or visual issues.

Value for money seats

  • Gallery (Unreserved): This is a raked and extremely elevated section featuring backless benches. It is placed at quite a distance from the stage, and you may find that these seats are available for a lower price on occasion.
  • Upper circle (C-G): This section offers a good vantage point from which to view larger productions, as it provides a clear view of the entire stage. Opt for seats in the middle rows for a good balance between views and affordability.
  • Dress circle (Boxes H & Q): This section wraps all the way around, with Boxes in the rear and on the sides. The two Boxes on either end of either side are closest to the stage, and the front-row seats in these are a good choice for cheaper seats with decent views.
  • Stalls (G-M & AA-LL): This section is closest to the stage and will give you the best views and the most immersive experience. For more affordable seats, opt for seats toward the sides of the rows in the rear.

Best views of the stage

  • Stalls (D-G): Stalls seats are ideal for a premium experience. For a good balance between immersion and views that won't have you craning your neck, opt for seats slightly behind the front rows, closer to the Center.
  • Dress circle (A-E): This section has some great views despite its distance from the stage. The elevation and rake allow you to see the stage clearly at all times. Opt for seats closer to the front for the best experience.
  • Upper circle (A-B): The front row seats of this section are the best views from this vantage point. You'll get to see the stage clearly without any sightline obstructions.
  • Gallery (Unreserved): The rear elevated gallery isn't the best if you're after immersion, but if you want to see the entire stage without missing a beat at affordable rates, opt for Center spots toward the front.
