Royal Albert Hall – Bees at the Hall Roof Slate Coasters

Own a piece of music history with the Royal Albert Hall Bees at the Hall Roof Slate Coasters - a limited-edition collaboration between the Royal Albert Hall and Victoria Eggs, and manufactured by Welsh slate specialists Slate House. These coasters transform reclaimed historic materials into everyday objects that carry stories, beauty, and purpose.

Each coaster is hand-finished in Wales from the original slate tiles that sheltered the Hall for over a century, some dating back to the 1800s. During the 2024 roof restoration, these historic tiles were carefully reclaimed and given new life through skilled craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

The coasters are cut, polished, and laser-etched with Victoria Eggs’ Bees at the Hall illustration, inspired by the real beehives that flourish atop the Hall, supporting biodiversity in central London. Limited to just 1,600 pieces, each coaster connects you directly to this iconic landmark and its living story.

More than a functional object, the collection embodies sustainability, heritage, and artistry, celebrating British design, ethical practice, and environmental responsibility. Every reclaimed tile becomes a lasting reminder that even historic materials can have a new, meaningful life.

Available exclusively through the Royal Albert Hall, these coasters make a thoughtful and commercially successful gift for visitors, collectors, and music lovers alike, combining timeless design with a story that can be treasured for generations.

Each coaster preserves a tangible piece of British cultural heritage, transforming historic architecture into lasting keepsakes that tell the Hall’s ongoing story.

About Victoria Eggs - Where every piece tells a story.

Each creation is crafted to bring comfort, connection, and joy to everyday life, because the smallest moments deserve to be celebrated. Every object is a memento, a story to keep, or a moment to pass on.

Victoria Eggs was born from a love of stories, design, and heritage. "A bespoke project I had long dreamed of came to life with the Jane Austen collection. The moment I received the brief, I could see it in my mind, full of wit, elegance, and charm."

From Austen’s world to London’s skyline, every illustration is hand-drawn by Victoria and each piece lovingly made in the UK using sustainable, ethically sourced materials.

By partnering with heritage institutions like the British Library, Victoria Eggs transforms British culture into everyday objects, connecting people through storytelling, design, and thoughtful craftsmanship — keeping history alive, one cherished piece at a time.
