Our story

A limited number of press tickets are available to most Barbican events and exhibitions. Priority will be given to members of the press who are reviewing for major publications or broadcast and are available at the discretion of the Press Office or the external promoter, where applicable.

To request a press ticket or entry to an art, music or cinema event, please contact our Press Office.

To request a press ticket for a theatre or dance production, please fill in the press ticket request form.

Filming and photography at the Barbican Centre may only take place by prior arrangement, whether in our public spaces or in specialised venues during the course of an exhibition or performance.

Please be advised that due to the current lockdown and government guidelines, we're very limited in terms of what filming and photography can take place at the Barbican Centre at the current time.

If you have a general filming or photography enquiry please complete the request form, and email it to [email protected].

For performance or event-specific enquiries, please contact our Press Office.
