How to Attend

Let us move you in more ways than one! Sit back, relax and travel in comfort right to the doors of Symphony Hall for world-class music-making from the CBSO. The CBSO provides a coach connection service from various locations in the West Midlands to the doors of Symphony Hall, Birmingham for only £7 return. Click here for more information.

Arriving at Symphony Hall

You may be aware that some work has recently been undertaken on the area around the front entrance to the ICC and Symphony Hall. The purpose of this work is to create a safer and more secure area for customers and visitors. From 1 April 2010 it will no longer be possible to drop people off directly outside the entrance (via King Alfred Place). Instead, the drop-off point will be on Cambridge Street, near to the mini roundabout. Staff will be available there to assist Symphony Hall patrons into the building if necessary. Groups arriving by coach will only be allowed access onto King Alfred Place (KAP) if they have provided details in advance of their coach company to the Box Office. Taxis will not be permitted access.
