Kids Week in the West End 2002, SOLT, 32 Rose Street
Kids from all over the UK came to London to take part in the one of the biggest events in the theatrical calendar, Kids Week in the West End. Thousands of tickets to top London plays and musicals are given away for Kids Week in the West End - a full week of non-stop fun right in the heart of London's Theatreland. Children also have the chance to peek behind the scenes to find out some of the secrets of the shows and meet the stars of the West End. Kids Week will be an experience for them to remember forever! 

The deal is simple. During Kids Week, a child (aged 5-16) gets in free when accompanied by a full paying adult. You can also buy two additional children's tickets at half-price*. But Kids Week doesn't stop there. Oh no. There are deals on meals too where kids can eat free at fun restaurants, and kids can also stay and travel free.
