Helpful tips for your outing

Choose shows which are marked as Children's-Friendly Theatre Shows: they often provide the right run-time, age suitability and excitement for younger guests. Arrive at the theatre venue early so that you can maximise the theatre experience: see the foyer space (foyer spaces can be quite exciting), visit the bars & cafés, and enjoy the experience of going to the theatre. Use any family ticket offers such as 2-for-1 tickets or matinée performances which might be more affordable and also more convenient for younger kids. Read any age guidance: many children's shows in the West End have age guidance or clearly state that children must be a certain age or accompanied by an adult.
