£1 Ticket Scheme
What is the £1 ticket scheme?
The £1 ticket scheme is designed for families who have been referred to us through partner organisations or families who are on low incomes and/or in receipt of means-tested benefits. When you are a member of the £1 ticket scheme, you can purchase £1 tickets for you and your family to Wigmore Hall’s family concerts and workshops, including:
- For Crying Out Loud! – Concerts for babies aged 1 and under and their parents/carers
- Chamber Tots – Music-making workshops for toddlers aged 1-5 and their parents/carers
- Family Workshops – Music-making workshops for families with children aged 5-11
- Family Concerts – Interactive concerts for families with children aged 5-11
How does the scheme work?
There are two ways to become a member of the £1 scheme:
- A referral from a partner organisation (i.e., family service, children centre, local authority).
- Providing proof of a means-tested benefit or similar* or letting us know of another consideration.
Once approved, you will become a member of the £1 ticket scheme and can purchase £1 tickets online, on the phone, or in person at the Box Office.
You can sign up to receive emails or flyers of Family events eligible for £1 tickets.
*means-tested benefits could include, but not limited to, Universal Credit, Job Seekers Allowance (JSA), Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Disability Support Allowance for Children (DSA).

What to expect?
All our family events are designed for parents/carers and children to enjoy together. We lead a range of exciting musical and creative activities, including concerts and music making workshops for all to enjoy. We firmly believe that music can strengthen bonds, provide enriching and inspiring shared experiences which enable families to express themselves and be creative together.
Wigmore Hall is proud to meet the Family Arts Standards, reflecting its commitment to offering family-friendly events and spaces. At the Hall, we have baby changing facilities, space for buggies/prams and cloakrooms for your belongings so you can relax and enjoy our activities.
