Still wondering what to do with your kids, siblings, nieces, nephews, god-children or other young people looking to you for entertainment during half term? Maybe our tickets site can help with some excellently fun London distractions.
The Railway Children
A classic that'll keep mum, dad and auntie Sue as happy as the younger generations, the classic book can be seen on stage in King's Cross. The Olivier Award-winning show is staged around a real train track.
The Magic Cavern
Wow the family with all manner of magical tomfoolery in The Magic Cavern at Barons Court Theatre in Kensington. The intimate venue hosts an illusion show suitable for those age 6+.
JunNk Live
Overwhelmed by the choice of shows at this year's Vault Festival? JunNk Live is rubbish — literally. The high energy four-man performance uses nothing but rubbish to create a variety show with comedy, percussion music and a capella singing. The 55-minute running time is ideal for little fidgets too.
Ice skating
Looking to burn off excess energy? Ice skating's for life, not just for Christmas. Get out in the fresh air and take a twirl around Broadgate Ice Rink, overlooking Liverpool Street Station. Sequins optional.
The Gruffalo
Oh help! Oh no! It's a Gruffalo! If this is a familiar refrain in your household, see the children's books come to life on stage at the Lyric Theatre. Mouse leads the musical adaptation, with Owl, Fox and Snake joining in on the route to meet the terrifying Gruffalo.
Matilda the Musical
What better time to see the Roald Dahl's tale brought to life than on the centenary of the author's birth? Matilda the Musical sees Trunchbull, Miss Honey and all the other characters thrown together on stage by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
