What parents should know
One of London's most iconic theatres, Theatre Royal Drury Lane offers spectacular family-friendly musicals like 'Frozen' and 'The Lion King'.
Best timing
Book matinee performances for younger children
Matinee shows are often better for children aged 4-8, as they finish earlier and avoid late bedtimes. Midweek matinees often have family package discounts.
Best timing
Arrive at least 30 minutes early
This gives you time to find your seats, visit the toilet, and let children explore the beautifully restored building before the show starts.
Family tips
Request booster seats when booking
Booster seats are available but should be requested in advance so younger children can see the stage comfortably.
