Wolverhampton's principal live music venue, containing the Civic Hall and the Wulfrun Hall.
University of Wolverhampton at The Halls is Wolverhampton's principal live music and entertainment venue, on North Street in the city centre. One building contains two auditoria: the Civic Hall, holding 3,408 standing, and the smaller Wulfrun Hall, holding 1,316 standing. The venue reopened in 2023 after a major refurbishment, and the University of Wolverhampton has held the naming rights since March 2024 — individual shows are billed as University of Wolverhampton at The Civic Hall and University of Wolverhampton at The Wulfrun Hall. Before the naming deal the two rooms were branded The Civic at The Halls and The Wulfrun at The Halls.
Main hall
Operator's own figures at thehallswolverhampton.co.uk/civic-hall/: Standing 3408 (2300 stalls / 560 circle / 190 circle side standing / 358 balcony); Seated 2346 (1208 stalls / 30 stalls rear standing / 560 circle / 100 circle side standing / 358 balcony). Note the seated breakdown sums to 2256, not the 2346 the operator states; both read on two fetches with different prompts.
Second hall
Operator's own figures at thehallswolverhampton.co.uk/wulfrun-hall/: Standing 1316 (1200 stalls / 116 balcony); Seated 814 (698 stalls / 116 balcony). Both breakdowns reconcile.
Technical and venue information is available directly from the venue.
