Kids Week

1 Current Deal
With a paying adult. Including hits such as Lion King, Matilda & Starlight Express
The popular 'Kids Week' theatre promotion is back. You can nab a free child ticket (for children aged 17 and under) to 50+ London theatre shows with the purchase of a full-priced adult ticket from the Official London Theatre's Kids Week website. It's for selected performances from Monday 21 July until Sunday 31 August, while tickets last.
Shows include Disney's The Lion King, Matilda, Wicked, Starlight Express, Oliver!, The Play That Goes Wrong and more – see 'More info' below for the full list of 50+ shows.
Popular shows and seats can sell out fast, so it's best to book earlier than later if it's something you want.

Kids Week need-to-knows
During the booking process, tickets will appear at their half-price cost on the seating plan – this is the same deal as one full-price paying adult and one free child.
If you're bringing more than one child, the first child ticket is free and then you can get 50% off for a maximum of two more children per adult. Savings can be up to £90 depending on which shows and seats are selected – and there are no booking or postage fees.
It's not every performance of every show – some exclude their most popular performances, such as matinees or weekends. Tickets are distributed randomly across all dates, shows and seat prices, so it helps to be flexible in your choice.
During the booking process you'll get to see which seats are available. You can book a maximum of 10 tickets per show (one free child per paying adult, up to a maximum of five adults). If you can't find the tickets you want, it's worth checking back at a later date – in past years we've seen some shows increase their allocation of tickets as time goes on.
