A quartet night at the Queen’s House

The 16 October chamber-music evening has a clear one-hour programme and adult tickets listed at £16, making it a focused alternative to a sprawling night out.

The ticket choice

Standard adult tickets are listed at £16, children at £8 and students at £10; member rates are also published.

Compare the category you qualify for and the final availability on the official booking page. Our advice is to settle the concert ticket first, then choose a nearby meal that leaves time to reach the correct entrance.

Why choose a chamber-music night?

A quartet offers a concentrated encounter with four instruments rather than the scale of a large orchestral event.

For a first visit, let that focus guide your evening: read the programme beforehand, keep your phone away during the performance and allow a little time afterwards to talk about what stayed with you. You do not need specialist knowledge to arrive curious.

Keep the journey straightforward

Save Queen’s House with the ticket rather than using an unspecific Greenwich map pin.

Check the venue’s access information for your own needs and consult a journey planner for the return trip. The published finish helps structure the evening, but leave practical time for departing the building.

A calm route home is part of a good concert plan.
