About West End LIVE
West End LIVE is organised by Westminster City Council and Society of London Theatre. The aim of the event is to increase West End theatre ticket sales by showcasing live performances free of charge and to bring people into the West End.  


Venue

The event takes place in Trafalgar Square, the largest outdoor venue available to Westminster City Council within the West End and the City of Westminster. Its location allows top West End shows to perform around their matinees and evening performances. 

It cannot be moved to a Royal Park, as they are not owned by the council and due to many other reasons including other events taking place throughout the summer, hire fees and the prohibitive cost and resources of rigging, planning and stewarding a larger venue. The event is dependent on West End theatres performing free of charge around their matinee performances. We have looked into the logistics of the performers travelling to and from Hyde Park and it is not possible for them to make the journey in time – the journey from Hyde Park station into the park alone would prohibit the shows from performing at this location.

 

Accessible viewing area 

We are currently reviewing access to the accessible viewing area in line with your feedback. If you would like to be informed of any changes to this area, there will be an option to provide your email address towards the end of this survey.

 

Funding

West End LIVE is funded by the council and sponsors. Without their support, the event could not take place. Part of the sponsorship deal is space in the guest enclosure, where the theatres, performers and production companies who perform free of charge, are also hosted to watch their shows.
