From full orchestras and global pop icons to contemporary dance and spoken word, Royal Festival Hall is a powerhouse of creativity on the South Bank. ### **The history of Royal Festival Hall** Opened in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain, the Royal Festival Hall was the first major public building to be constructed in the UK after World War II.
