Sunday Matinees In London

Make the most of your weekend and see what shows in London have a Sunday matinee. More West End productions play on Sundays now than ever before - a tradition that’s hopped over the pond from Broadway - and prices are sometimes cheaper than Saturday matinees too. It may be a day of rest, but theatreland never sleeps and the best London musicals are still ready to earn a standing ovation at the end of the week! Pack more entertainment into your days off work and book tickets for a Sunday afternoon now; performance times are from 3pm so you’ll still have time to enjoy a roast dinner after the final bows.
