Kids Week is all about introducing young people to London theatre. A child aged 17 or under can go FREE to any participating show when accompanied by an adult paying full price, and you can buy up to two extra children’s tickets at half price. What’s more, there are no booking or transaction fees to pay! 

As we work with box offices with a variety of ticketing systems, when you go to buy your tickets, the seats will appear at their half price cost on the seating plan. This is the same deal as 1 full price paying adult and 1 free child.  You should select as many tickets as in your party (e.g.; 2 adults and 3 children = 5 tickets). 

The Kids Week deal includes selected performances between 21 July – 31 August. It used to run for just a week (hence the name!) but has grown in popularity and now runs throughout the school summer holidays

Booking will open at 10am on Tuesday 10 June. A full list of participating shows will be announced ahead of this on Tuesday 3 June. 

The Kids Week deal is only valid on selected dates on participating shows and can only be booked directly through this website. There are a limited number of Kids Week tickets for each performance and tickets may not be on sale for all performances.  You will be able to find out all of the shows participating in Kids Week, as well as the dates and times available to book, from Tuesday 3 June. 

There will be a queueing system live on OfficialLondonTheatre.com from 8am on Tuesday 10 June. When tickets go on sale at 10am, everyone queueing will be randomly assigned a position. You may also have to additionally queue for specific shows. 

It really depends on the show, so be sure to check that when you book. There are no booking, postage or transaction fees on Kids Week tickets.  

They most certainly can! We extended the offer a few years ago so it’s now open to any child aged 17 or under.  

It depends on the show. Some theatres and shows have strict age policies and don’t admit young children. We always recommend looking at the Age & Content Guide for each show on their individual listings page.  

Babes in arms are not allowed in almost all theatres. Please check with the venue directly for their current guidelines.  

Yes! Theatre Tokens can be redeemed online when you make your booking.  

You can book a maximum to 10 Kids Week tickets! No more than 5 of these may be adult tickets. 

If you, or someone you know, has access requirements, you can complete our Access Priority Request Form outlining your access requirements before the on sale date. This form will go live here on Friday 6 June at midday and will close on Sunday 8 June at 6pm. You will then be contacted directly by the theatre’s box office on Tuesday 10 June to book your tickets.

When booking access tickets throughout the promotion, we recommend booking access tickets directly with the theatre as they know the venue and can give you the most accurate and up-to-date information. You will be offered the Kids Week rate or the theatre’s own access rate, depending on which is lower, so you’ll always get the best deal. A list of contact information for the venues will be available on the Kids Week Access page once the promotion goes live.

Each year, we organise a small number of activities with some of the shows participating in Kids Week. There are also ‘Kids Week Curtain Calls’ which are an opportunity for ALL Kids Week bookers attending that performance to engage with the show after the performance.

This year activities are bookable along with your theatre tickets via the specific activities’ page. The activities may differ between shows so please read carefully. You will be able to find out all shows offering an activity, and the dates and times for these, from Tuesday 3 June.

Exchange policies vary theatre to theatre, and we can only offer you an exchange if the theatre grants one.  Tickets will only be refunded if your performance has been cancelled.  

You can find our details on our Contact Us page.
