Name a seat

Time flies, but we’re still here – capture the moment and name a seat

For over 50 years, our buildings have hosted sensational performances by the best artists in the world. But the most important moments don’t always happen on stage.

Say ‘thank you’, ‘I love you’ or ‘here’s looking at you, kid’. Say ‘I remember you’ or ‘let’s do it again’.

Everything changes but some things stay the same. Keep hold of the memories that matter by naming a seat here for the decade to come.

‘When I lost my partner of 54 years I could think of no better way of commemorating our many visits to Queen Elizabeth Hall than to name two seats in our two favourite rows. It is a great consolation to me that I, and others, will sit in seats dedicated to him, in memory of wonderful performances we both enjoyed.’

– Nicholas, Southbank Centre supporter

‘Dad has enjoyed watching many artists perform here over the years, and talks about it all the time with such fondness. I thought naming a seat for him and my mum was a great way to help keep Southbank Centre around for years to come, and I know my Dad feels the same.’
