West End Outings

West End Outings: discounted group theatre outings in London

West End Outings is a London-based theatre membership club that organises group outings to West End shows. Founded in 2022 by Adam Green, a former actor, the club combines discounted tickets with a social experience that includes pre-show drinks, a host and a community of theatregoers who attend together. According to its presentation, it has more than 700 members and offers savings of up to 60% on theatre tickets.

Membership and how to join

Membership costs from £25 a year. The site states that it is possible to try a first event without needing a membership. Members get reduced prices on every seat, and the evening begins before the curtain rises, with a social meet-up beforehand.

Industry recognition

The site features testimonials from theatre and hospitality professionals. Christina Bianco, international Broadway and West End star, highlights the inclusive nature of the community. Kate Graham, actress in Mamma Mia in the West End, praises the idea of bringing people together. Penny Horner, executive director and co-founder of London's Jermyn Street Theatre, notes that the theatre is proud to welcome the group regularly. Richard Stirling, West End actor, writer and producer, mentions that Adam Green knows how the industry works on both sides of the curtain. Rob Madge, West End Palladium panto star and writer, describes West End Outings as a community in itself. Heather, manager of the LGBTQ+ bar Halfway to Heaven, explains that the group began with its first event in May 2022 and that since then it has filled the bar before performances. Monika Zywczak, travel trade sales specialist at Group Line, says that West End Outings has been a client of the company for four years and that the partnership has grown into a friendship.

How an outing works

The experience is built around three steps: join the club, book a show and enjoy the meet-up. Ticket savings start from the moment you join, but the main appeal, according to its own description, lies in the social side: pre-show drinks, travelling to the theatre together and the friendships that develop. The club has a host and works with bars and theatres that welcome the group.
