Wednesday Matinees In London

Have a day off work? Split your week up with tickets to see a Wednesday matinee. This is one of the most popular midweek matinee days, with a huge number of West End shows opening their doors for performances between 2pm and 2.30pm. You can also bag cheap theatre tickets: prices are often lower than Saturday matinees, and sometimes less than evening performances too.

Les Miserables and The Lion King are just two of the top London musicals that perform for a daytime crowd, and you can also fit in both parts of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, with Part 1 starting in the afternoon and Part 2 in the evening.
