London
What it’s like
A West End stage with acrobatics, comedy and musical shows, with under-15 tickets from £17.50.
This is a proper theatre programme rather than a one-show venue, so what's on when you book matters. Cirque Berserk is the one with real crowd appeal for kids, a two hour five minute circus and acrobatics show with an interval, and it's rated 5+ which feels about right given the running time. From The Heart is a shorter musical revue at 1hr 20 with no interval, but that one's pitched at 8+, so it's not the toddler option.
Tickets run from £17.50 for under-15s up to £25 for adults, with a premium £35 tier called From The Heart for that show specifically. Group rates start at £49.50 if you're going with a school or a bigger gathering, which is worth knowing if you're organising for more than a couple of families. Half term brings kids in at half price for Cirque Berserk, which is the kind of saving that makes the longer show easier to justify.
The box office runs 12pm to 8pm on performance days, and the theatre itself opens 45 minutes before curtain up. Wheelchair access is in the Dress Circle at street level with a portable ramp, and they'd rather you book that in advance than turn up and hope. Assistance dogs are welcome, and there's even a dog sitting service for two dogs at a time if you've brought the family pet along, again best booked ahead rather than assumed.
