What are the best seats at Wilton’s Music Hall?

The Stalls occupy the ground floor and are often considered the top pick for theatre-goers who like to feel close to the action. With direct views of the stage and step-free access, these seats offer a traditional theatre experience that feels both accessible and immersive.
The Gallery, which wraps around three sides of the auditorium, provides a wider, more elevated view. If you enjoy soaking in the full visual composition of a performance, the gallery offers a lovely bird’s-eye perspective.
