Kids Week; More Information
Kids Week offers you the chance to pick up discounted theatre tickets tickets to top London theatres when a child is accompanied by a full paying adult, (children must be 17 years or under).
To take account of differing ticketing systems, the way this deal works is that when you buy your theatre tickets, seats will appear at their half price cost on the seating plan. This works out the same a 1 full price adult ticket and 1 free child ticket. The great news is that a further 2 children per booking can secure half price entry plus there are NO booking or postal fees in place either! You can book a minimum of 2, and a maximum of 8 tickets, (but no more than 4 adults in your party), to ensure an equal distribution of tickets are available. If there are 4 children or more in your party, they must be accompanied by a minimum of 2 adults.
Kids Week is all about introducing young people to London theatre. A child 17 and under can go FREE to any participating show when accompanied by an adult paying full price.
A full list of participating shows will be announced ahead of 13 June so worth taking a look prior to the booking lines opening to the public.

Is Kids Week A Good Deal?
It is certainly a popular deal & tickets do go quickly for certain shows. The great advantage with Kids Weeks is that it does include popular London Shows that you wouldn’t necessarily find any type of concessionary rate so a discounted seat is pretty good going!
