Snape Maltings Concert Hall
Snape Maltings, Snape, Suffolk, IP17 1SP
Built by Newson Garrett in the mid-19th century, the 810-seat Concert Hall began life as a malthouse. Officially opened in 1967 by HM Queen Elizabeth II, the Hall suffered serious fire damage two years later, re-opening in time for the Aldeburgh Festival the following year.
With an unparalleled view across the River Alde, the River View Restaurant and Café & Bar are open to ticket holders on concert days. The Concert Hall Gallery runs along the opposite side of the hall from the Foyer.
