Professional concerts
Once again this season we'll be showcasing a blend of classical and global roots music, with more events and 'pay what you decide' pricing. We want the diversity of our students and staff to be represented by the music we host, and most of all we want it to be a relaxed, fun and welcoming experience for anyone wanting to try something new. Take a look below to see what's coming up.

Venue information
University Hall has stalls and balcony seating. Some of the side stalls seating has interrupted views of the stage. Balcony side seats have a restricted view of the stage and are not cushioned. Please bear this in mind when booking tickets for events where seating is allocated.
Doors open 30 minutes before performances begin. As there is no foyer area in University Hall, doors to both the building and the auditorium will open at the same time.
There is level access to enter University Hall on Shakespeare Villas, and a lift providing access to all levels of the hall. All balcony seats are accessed by at least one step.
Wheelchair spaces are available at the front of the stalls and are usually side-facing to the stage.
We have three accessible toilets located on the lower ground, stalls and balcony levels.
If you require a companion to enable your visit and are a wheelchair user, you can book your ticket online. If you are not a wheelchair user but still require a companion, please contact us.
University Hall is just a few minutes' walk from the Nottingham Trent University tram stop, and a short distance from the city centre bus stops. We'd recommend using public transport. If you're planning to drive, or need a walking map, take a look at our parking and travel information.
