Kids Week named as one of Martin Lewis’ top money-saving picks for summer

• A child aged 17 or under can see London theatre for free this summer when accompanied by an adult paying full price 
• Two additional children can go for half price, and there are no booking fees 
• There are 1000s of tickets available for top London shows for the rest of the summer holidays, until Friday 6 September 

Kids Week has been named a top money-saving pick by Martin Lewis, founder of Money Saving Expert, in his MoneySavers’ home & away summer checklist where he shared tips on keeping costs down whilst keeping kids occupied during the school holidays. 

Until Friday 6 September, a child aged 17 or under can see a show for free when accompanied by an adult paying full price (selected shows/performances), plus an additional two children can attend for half price – plus, there’s no booking fees. Tickets are available at OfficialLondonTheatre.com. 

Thousands of tickets are available for top London shows, including Amaze, Beauty And The Beast, Blippi: The Wonderful World Tour, Brainiac Live, Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book, Dreamworks’ Shrek The Musical, Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World, The Gruffalo, Guys & Dolls, Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, Horrible Histories – Terrible Tudors, Ministry Of Science Live, The Play That Goes Wrong, Sister Act, Wicked, The Wizard Of Oz & Zog And The Flying Doctors. 

Alongside the performances, a number of shows are offering ‘Kids Week Curtain Calls’ where all Kids Week bookers in attendance for that performance can stay for a post-show Q&A. 

“A trip to the theatre is something that everyone should be able to experience and enjoy. Since its conception in 1998, Kids Week has enabled nearly 2 million children and their families to see the best theatre that London has to offer, for an affordable price. More tickets get added throughout the campaign, so if you can be flexible with shows and dates you will not be disappointed. This summer is the perfect time to treat your family to an experience that will hopefully inspire a lifelong love of theatre.“

Emma De Souza, Kids Week founder and Executive Director (Audiences & Commercial) at the Society of London Theatre
