The National Theatre has a range of event spaces from intimate meeting rooms to the spectular roof top space. Whether it is a coporate meeting, lavish wedding or an exciting product launch the National Theatre is the perfect place for a memorable event. The National Theatre's dedicated Hospitality Events team will take care of your event from start to finish to ensure every event is a success.

There are no eye-blocking pillars, circle rails, or other familiar hazards and you can see and hear almost equally well from each of its seats. Unlike most traditional theatres, the Lyttelton has an adjustable proscenium. You can make it into an open-end stage; add a forestage; or create an orchestra pit for up to 20 musicians. No seat is further away, here, from the actor's point of command than the distance from the front row of the dress circle in many older, larger theatres.

    I went to see The Witches at this theatre! This is the most modern theatre I've been to. The seats are wide and comfy with plenty of space in width and length. The seats of each row go up in height significantly and makes the view from your seat perfect even with someone tall in front! A massive stage with all the latest technologies and special effects. Very disabled friends with nice large lifts.

    Superb show of The Witches. Incredible value at £20 a ticket for 4 rows back. Said restricted view/narrow seats but absolutely fine for us & don't think we missed anything, seats c14 & c15. Great view & lucky to have booked to see the very last show of the run. First time in the Olivier Theatre & it's such a lovely venue. We thoroughly enjoyed it & will certainly be back 💜🖤💜🖤💜🧙‍♀️🧙

    One of the best examples of brutalist architecture housing some of the capital's best plays. Great space to chill out, catch a play and grab some tasty food.
