The Show Must Go On
We have all been stuck in for soooo long. We all understand the importance of playing our parts in controlling the spread of the virus – but let’s be honest, it kinda sucks. We’ve had to forgo seeing friends, family, work, the gym, nights out, days out, and holidays. Some of us have missed important life plans – like weddings – or passed big milestones, like 30th birthdays. Some of us have even lost our jobs, or worse; our loved ones.
There is no denying we have been pushed to our limits, mentally, emotionally, financially and physically. And although some people have managed to thrive over the past months, there is no denying we need something to look forward to.
And what do us brits love more than a cuppa, fish and chips and our ability to power on through?
The Theatre!
Now is the perfect time to book yourself some well-deserved nights out. The arts desperately need our support, and we desperately need something to look forward to, so it’s a win win.
Cheap Tickets
Sites such as CheapTheatreTickets.com, LOVEtheatre.com and LondonBoxOffice.co.uk all offer great savings on tickets. You can filter by show, location, offers or date. Some shows are currently due to run this year, but others aren’t due to start back until next year. This gives you plenty of time to pick out that show you’ve been dying to see. Or maybe you want to see your favourite show for the 20th time – no judgement here, I’ve seen Blood Brothers 12 times!!
Dinner & Theatre
Fancy making an evening of it? Why not – after being caged up a night out is what we all need! Sites such as TheatreTicketsDirect.com, designmynight.com and buyagift.com all specialise in meal and theatre tickets. Why not plan a date night; a nice romantic meal followed by watching your favourite show for dessert! Or catch a matinee, and then have a great meal after – minus the washing up! A great night out.
Hotel & Theatre
Why not really push the boat out, and make it an overnight trip? Celebrate a birthday that has passed, or an anniversary, or even just make the most of catching up with the girls! Book a hotel in with your tickets, spend the day shopping, grab a meal at your favourite restaurant, before watching the show. Then back to the hotel bar for a cheeky drink or two to finish the night off in style! Sites such as show-and-stay.co.uk, westendtheatrebreaks.com and toptheatrebreaks.co.uk will all offer you great deals.
Other places to offer great deals are newspapers – they are always offering a night in a hotel, with a meal and show. A lot of coach companies also offer these packages – and include travel down and back, so check them out too!
With low prices, and plenty of time to book, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, spoil yourself – you deserve it! Why not check out our great post on cheap train tickets to get yourself there and back!
