Event information

Do I need a ticket?

The accessible viewing area will be ticketed and space will be allocated in a free ballot ahead of the event.

General entry is not ticketed and is on a first come, first served basis.

Will West End LIVE move to a bigger venue?

The event will remain in Trafalgar Square, the largest space in the West End that is available to Westminster City Council, the joint organisers of West End LIVE.

Trafalgar Square is in the heart of Theatreland, close to many West End theatres. This means shows and performers can get to us quickly and easily after their matinees and we can include performances from shows that wouldn't be able to get to us if West End LIVE was further away.

The aim of West End LIVE and many of our sponsors is to bring more people into the West End, showcase the area and generate business for the shops, restaurants, theatres and other cultural venues surrounding Trafalgar Square. We will therefore not move the event to venues outside of Westminster.

There is no photography pit at West End LIVE. We do offer a small number of press accreditation passes and applications will open in late May 2027.

You do not need permission to film or photograph at West End LIVE and can bring cameras into the event via the general entrance. We no longer offer specific accreditation for content creators.

If you have a media query, please email pressenquiries@soltukt.co.uk.
