The National has three theatres - the Olivier, Lyttelton and Cottesloe - and on each day we present up to three different shows. We also have a programme of talks and events - Platforms - giving insight into the work of the theatre, plus outdoor events in summer. Every day there is also free music in the main foyer, prior to performances, and free exhibitions.
