Please note that the wheelchair area only has space for up to 4 wheelchairs and is reserved on a first come first served basis. The Albert Hall is a Grade II listed building and due to restrictions we do not have a lift, we have a stairclimber which has a capacity for wheelchairs up to a weight of 200kg.
