Here you will find our latest announcements and press releases. Our Press Office can respond to queries about the general status of the West End and our events and promotions. We can also arrange interviews with our President and Chief Executive, and handle filming requests.

For news and images relating to an individual show please contact the production’s press representatives directly.

Please note that given the current Coronavirus pandemic, our main focus at present is on lobbying government, supporting the sector and its workforce in difficult times, and communicating our work with our members, so most of our news will relate to this.

SOLT Members can access further guidance in our Members Resources page - please login to access the page.

For all press enquiries please contact Eva Mason, Communications Officer for SOLT and UK Theatre.
