Free tickets to top West End shows with Kids Week

The annual much-loved summer initiative, Kids Week, is being extended by an extra week this year due to record sales of theatre tickets.

With Kids Week children, up to the age of 16, can go free to a fantastic line-up of specially selected shows from the August 12 to September 4.

The new batch of tickets are already on sale so it is best to be quick to avoid missing out. For a child to go for free they must be accompanied by a full paying adult and per transaction two additional children can go for half the price - making this a treat that can involve the whole family.
