With five spaces—Lyric Theatre, Concert Hall, Playhouse, Cremorne Theatre, and the Glasshouse Theatre (opening 2026)—QPAC hosts a wide range of performances from intimate plays to large-scale productions. We provide practical seating info, parking, transport options, and nearby lodging and dining to make your visit seamless.
Secure your seats with a trusted connection. We offer straightforward booking paths, up-to-date venue details, and reliable guidance to help you plan your trip to South Bank.
QPAC’s venues each offer distinct experiences: Lyric Theatre (~2,000 seats), Concert Hall (~1,500 seats, up to 1,800 with choir balcony), Playhouse (~850 seats), Cremorne Theatre (~274 seats), and the Glasshouse Theatre (~1,500 seats; opening planned for 2026). All venues provide accessible seating and clear seating charts.
