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.
The Dorfman Theatre (formerly the Cottesloe Theatre) has been redeveloped, with a greater capacity, more comfortable seats, better sight-lines and enlarged foyer spaces. The most flexible of the National Theatre auditoriums, it is a rectangular room. In the pit, the new flexible seating system can be raised and lowered in minutes to either a steep or shallow rake format; or the seats can be folded away completely to become a flat floor.

August 2024It was a happy, breezy, warm, and slightly cloudy Saturday on August 3, 2024. Strolling from London Bridge to the London Eye via Southbank, passing by the National Theatre, made for a perfect day out in London. I hope to catch a performance or musical at this theatre someday. Highly recommended!

June 2024Love the National! Beautiful and interesting building, lovely, friendly staff, seating in the theatres provides a great view from most spots in the auditorium and is pretty comfortable (narrow seats less so but are marked as such and tickets for those are usually cheaper), good amount of loos, reasonably priced drinks, great views from the terrace during the interval. Each visit is a pleasure!

July 2024Loved visiting this theatre - easy to get to, for a first timer in London with a sprained ankle no less! Industrial look to the outside, classy inside, comfy seats, great air flow (not stuffy at all), amazing sound, spectacular lighting, and found a cute bookshop (the bar was good too). Staff are super helpful as well 🙌 Saw Nye here in May - was totally blown away by the performance - then took an evening stroll along Southbank, enjoying the sights, bustle and hum of a city winding down on a weeknight. Magical!

July 2024I've seen multiple plays here and always had a wonderful time. They're well written and of good quality. As it's a theatre of course the price of food and drink are pretty high.
