A Night Less Ordinary

A Night Less Ordinary is an Arts Council England scheme in association with Metro, which will provide 618,000 free theatre tickets to anyone aged 25 or under in more than 200 venues across England.

You can book up to six tickets for you and your friends, provided that you’re all 25 and under on the day of the performance. We’ll need to see proof of age for everyone in your party when you collect the tickets, otherwise we won’t be able to hand them over.

So what are you waiting for? Call us on +44 (0)20 7922 2922!

How to claim your tickets

The easiest way to claim your tickets is to call us on +44 (0)20 7922 2922 on the day of the performance – if we’ve got any tickets that haven’t been sold, they’re likely to be made available under A Night Less Ordinary.

In addition, we sometimes have some tickets that can be pre-booked in advance. At the moment though, we don't have any that can be pre-booked. It's always worth checking back on this page in a few days to see if we've released any.

For more information about the scheme visit the A Night Less Ordinary website.

We also list all the shows that we’re offering tickets for on the Free London Theatre website.
