London's West End is preparing to open its doors to families this summer as the popular Kids Week returns. 

For the whole month of August, Kids Week allows children aged 17 and under to watch some of the biggest and best shows currently on the West End for free. 

The deal works when accompanied by an adult paying full price, but along with the free ticket, you also buy two additional children's tickets for half price and no booking fees. 

Kids Weeks is in aid to help introduce everyone to the theatre as well as giving families more affordable activities to enjoy over the summer. 

Along with getting free and cheap tickets to West End Shows, there are also a number of activities for children to enjoy along with Kids Eat Free deals at a selection of restaurants. 

Currently, the shows involved in the scheme have not yet been released but they are set to be announced soon. 

How to get free tickets to West End shows

Kids Week tickets don't go on sale for over a month so it's worth setting an alert as tickets will be going on sale at 10am on Tuesday, June 13.

Last year nearly all of the tickets sold out so you will need to be quick as they are only a select few available per show. 

You can find out more information by heading to the Official London Theatre website.
