Tuesday Matinees In London

Keep your evening free with a midweek Tuesday matinee, and get your fill of entertainment at a time that works for you. Tuesday afternoon performances are more common during holidays like Easter and Christmas, making them the perfect time to see some of the best kids theatre in London. Families can escape the busy crowds on Saturday and Sunday matinees when they introduce little ones to the magic of live theatre.

Child-free and have an afternoon going spare? Tickets to some of the longest-running musicals and plays in London are also available on selected Tuesdays, and they are often cheaper than on weekends as well. For even more choice, take a look at popular Wednesday and Thursday matinees.
