Stalls

The Stalls are split into two sections with a central aisle. Rows G-K in the center offer the best views. Avoid end seats in the first three rows. The high stage provides good visibility, except for seats behind pillars in rows C, H, and S. The Dress Circle overhang affects Row M and beyond. Legroom is limited in most seats, but you can choose aisle seats for more space.

Dress circle

The Dress Circle offers the best overall views with two blocks separated by a central aisle. It's close to the stage, but curved seating limits views at the ends of rows A-C. Avoid Row J as it may have restricted views. The Grand Circle overhang affects rows at the back, but these seats generally offer a great bargain. Legroom is limited, but seats in the front and center have spectacular views.

Grand circle

This section has two sub-sections divided by a central aisle. Aisle seats provide more legroom, except in Row A. A safety rail affects views from seats towards the end of the aisles. The rake ensures good visibility in the center, although the balcony overhang may obstruct some views, especially in back seats. This section, though distant from the stage, offers expansive views of the performance which are preferable for large productions.

Balcony

The Balcony is the second largest section with three blocks and two aisles. It's very steep and may not be suitable for patrons with vertigo or mobility restrictions. The rake provides unobstructed but distant views. Aisle seats are partially hidden by safety bars. Legroom is limited, particularly in rows M-P.

Which seats offer the best view?

The Dress Circle of the Palace Theatre seating plan offers a cosy atmosphere that provides the best overall views in the Palace Theatre seating plan. You can even secure your seat in the middle of the Grand Circle. Here, you don't have to worry about any safety rails obstructing your line of sight.

Which seats offer the best value for money?

You can find cheap seats towards the back of each section in the Palace Theatre seating plan.The Balcony is an affordable option, due to its limited views and distance from the stage. Sitting in front of the Balcony is worth it, as you will still enjoy a good view despite seemingly being farther away.
