A Christmas Meal and Theatre Experience for Two

An evening spent in London's magical West End is always special, but even more so at the most festive time of the year.
London's Christmas lights are exceptional and most definitely well worth a visit. The spectacular array of colours really does light up the streets during the most grey, bleak winter months in the UK. Christmas in London just wouldn't be the same without the beautiful festive lights adorning the streets bringing no end of Christmas sparkles to the usually dull streets.
Some of the most unusual lights in London are set up in and around Covent Garden creating a deliciously festive look. Red Letter Days have created a uniquely special evening of festive dining and cultural entertainment; combine this with a snowy winter evening Christmas shopping in the West End beneath the glow of the Christmas lights.
Your Yuletide theatre experience will begin with a delicious two-course meal at either Chez Gerard, Dial or Creation. All of these high-quality eateries are within walking distance of the West End's theatres so very little additional travel will be required once you are already in London.
Then follows the true magic of London's West End - an evening performance of one of the top shows currently available. Choices include the star-studded, jazz-packed Chicago; the Queen rock spectacular We Will Rock You; the heartwarming tale of Willy Russell's Blood Brothers; the historical 39 Steps; toe-tapping percussion with Stomp; the ghostly tale of The Woman in Black or the brilliant Michael Jackson-themed show Thriller. All of these spectacular shows have received rave reviews and will perfect the ultimate Christmas theatre experience.
Since this is a particularly special time of year, why not combine your theatre experience with a trip to London's Christmas centerpiece? The enormous Christmas tree is set up in Trafalgar Square every year and draws in thousands of spectators. This tree is selected by Norwegian foresters who describe it fondly as the 'Queen of the Forest' before it is shipped carefully over to the UK. The beautiful tree is decorated in traditional Norwegian style with vertical strings of lights which are officially switched on during the official tree lighting ceremony. If you time your theatre trip carefully there is every chance you will get to see this fantastic display.
This wonderful Christmas gift experience is guaranteed to put even the most stubborn Scrooges in a festive mood. Choose a top West End show for Christmas and share in some Yule tide entertainment with your family or friends.
