You're welcome to call us on 020 7193 9050 for honest seat advice and to book tickets at the Hackney Empire.
The Boxes are in the Dress Circle, round the sides of the theatre. Each one is a small private space, which is the main reason to book one.
When a Box is right
- A family with young children, with a space to yourselves. The Boxes at the back of the Dress Circle are said to have good views
- A step-free booking. Boxes J and K can be reached by lift with no steps; every other Box has three or more
When to book something else
If the view is the point, a centre seat in the Dress Circle faces the stage straight on, which a Box at the side does not. For the panto, the Stalls put children closer to the action.
