Symphony Hall Birmingham

Reviews

1. Marinthe de Bokx ★★★★★

   Lovely symphony Hall, potentially not as grand as in other cities but it's well worth visiting as the sound quality is great and the seat visibility is excellent. Price wise it's fantastic as well. The only let down is the drink selection at the bar and the fact that everything is in plastic cups, but I understand there are safety precautions for that.

   Great place to see a concert. I nearly cancelled as I was in the Grand Tier which is very high and I cant usually stand heights. I must admit for the first time in my life I sat way up near the back but was comfortable with no adverse effects. Really enjoyed the concert as you are not sat behind anyones head. I would be happy to return and recommend.

   Beautiful night in a beautiful setting. The hall looks classic and well mantained. The lobby area is modern and well designed. We enjoyed our first ever concert in Birmingham, at the music hall.

   The hall itself is nice, comfortable seats, and the sound acoustics were great. The event itself was good, with a clear screen and an absolutely stunning orchestra. Slight disappointment that they didn't play the cantina band song live, and the queues for the bar at the interval were long which meant we ended up not buying a drink. Regardless, it was fantastic and the orchestra were definitely the stars of the show! I'd definitely go there again for future events!

   Only one criticism. Some of the seated areas have very limited leg space, which is more noticeable during longer performances or shows. Due to long lines of seats with limited leg space and no access isles; everyone has to stand to allow someone in or out, after people have sat down. This also makes me question what would happen if there was an emergency requiring evacuation. How would that go? Not well I suspect, and certainly, accessibility for those with walking aids or wheelchairs would not be viable for these seats (though I'm certain that there will be other, specific areas where accessibility has been considered). Also another more minor issue... Drink/snack holders would be nice, though I appreciate this is not always considered appropriate at these types of venue. Other aspects of the venue were exceptional. Spacious, clean, well designed, well staffed. Friendly and helpful staff. Facilities were also of a good standard. Also I should say the crowd were excellent. Everyone was friendly and considerate, and excited or happy to be there. It was truly a joy to experience.

   Easy to access and park, the canal area was well lit and very picturesque.. Upper balcony of the Symphony Hall seating gave excellent views of the stage and the sound was excellent. Jules Holland and his orchestra were brilliant as usual. Only gripe was that the seats became uncomfortable after a short while.

   What an amazing venue. The acoustics are fantastic. It's quite a small and intimate venue. The staff here are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble for them. I have been here twice and will not hesitate to visit again in the future.

   Parking just across the road in Brindley Place the hall was easy and safe to get in and out of. Inside the halls there is an amazing atrium with bars and toilets aplenty. Inside the Symphony Hall we had tickets right up top in the gods seating. The seating was high quality and very comfortable. Our view was perfect, looking down on the stage and the performance.

   Great place, from the entrance areas with a bar as you walk in, through to all the seating while you're waiting for the show. Once in the hall there are staff everywhere to speak to or help you. I'd recommend being higher up for a quieter bar or toilet. Use the lift to get to a high floor to avoid a queue with a bar on every floor.

   A great venue for all events. This time was to listen to live music by Scott Bradley's - Post Modern Jukebox. The venue is superbly equipped for these sorts of events and so quick to get to from the main Grand Central Station! The acoustics and lighting are superb. My only qualm is the limited number of toilets on the ground/first floor which means the break can mean it's a long wait.
