St George’s Day

You can combine this with a family theatre break to see Matilda in the evening or Disney’s The Lion King on the Sunday matinee.
London Marathon
It seems the whole world has its eyes on London during the London Marathon. Whether you are coming down to London to compete or support or just take in the atmosphere, a theatre break is a wonderful way to complete the weekend of the 25/26th April 2015.

The Boat Race
Saturday 11th April will see the 161st London Boat Race as spectators take to the banks of the Thames to cheer on the crews from Cambridge and Oxford universities.

Mother’s Day
Whether you treat her to a Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea at the British Museum, take her to see the beautiful spring blooms on one of Kew’s colourful tours of spring bulbs and blossom or watch a West End show – such as Billy Elliot . Here you can either book a break or just tickets for your Marvellous Mum.

As they do every spring, the clocks spring forward an hour on the night of 28/29th March – so don’t forget to change yours if you have plans for Sunday 29th March… It’s no fun missing the first 15 minutes of a show!
