Weekday Matinee Shows London

Theatre is not just for the weekend! Matinee shows in London can take place every day of the week.

Most West End shows in London will have matinee shows, so if you’re wanting a concert experience at Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, or to spend an afternoon crying at Dear Evan Hansen, you can do it at a weekday matinee. Browse our list of West End shows with a weekday matinee and see a weekday matinee whenever it suits you. If you’re looking for a Sunday matinee, why not check out our Sunday shows guide.
