Theatre Entertainment & Nightlife

Whether you’re on the hunt for an entertaining theatre show, a concert, a cabaret act or just a good night out, you’ll find plenty of opportunity to do all these things in every region of the UK. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a big city or a rural countryside location, you’ll find a whole host of entertainment. In Britain, there is a strong emphasis on working hard and playing hard, so you’ll find lots of night time entertainment all over the UK.

There are a plethora of cinemas, theatres and legendary clubs, pubs and bars to guarantee you a great night out whether you are in the north, the south, the east, the west or somewhere in between.

You might think the place for top notch theatre is London’s West End and while there are a large concentration of theatres and award-winning productions going on several times a day, every day, many of these productions tour around the country and of course, there are some equally talented performers in all corners of the UK and just as many beautiful and impressive theatres for you to visit. Every area has at least one traditional looking theatre and if they don’t, you’ll find cinemas or similar establishments that will regularly stream live performances straight from the West End, so regardless of where you are, you won’t miss out on seeing some incredible theatre.

As well as theatres, there are a number of award-winning concert venues around Britain for you to catch your favourite musical acts, of both national and international fame, as well as some top notch local talent that appear at smaller venues such as pubs and clubs in their home regions. Similarly, you’ll find comedy shows, cabaret shows and just about every other entertainment option you can think of. No matter where you are, you’ll find something to add to your calendar.

Britain’s nightlife is renowned for being great fun, head to city centre locations such as Manchester, Cardiff or Leeds for a truly exceptional night out with club nights that are famed for being messy – in the very best way! If you’d rather something a little more quiet and reserved, that’s fine too, you’ll find that there are pubs, bars and clubs that have themed nights, movie nights, quiz nights and more, so everyone can find something that they enjoy. Wherever you choose to visit in the UK, you’ll find pubs, bars and clubs that are inclusive and welcoming to anyone who wants to have a good time, with accessible bathrooms and tables and seats with adjustable heights among other provisions. While some of the older theatres may have less accessibility than the newer or refurbished ones, all of them work to make sure that they are as inclusive as possible and have everything from wheel chair lifts, to priority seating to make sure that you’re as comfortable as possible. Take a look at the individual theatres for their listings and show times and see if there is anything that takes your fancy. These theatres will be able to help you book the best seats with extra legroom or with a good view, just speak to them when making buying your tickets.
