September doesn’t just mean back to school – it could also mean back to date nights, theatre trips and a little more time for parents. Official London Theatre and Bubble are teaming up to make it easier for mums and dads to enjoy a night in the West End, with £20 off their first Bubble childcare booking.
After weeks of keeping the children entertained, juggling holidays and hearing the same cartoons on repeat, September can feel like a fresh start for parents too.
Now, families looking to put a little more “me time” back into the diary can combine a West End theatre trip with childcare, thanks to a new partnership between Official London Theatre and childcare app Bubble.
Parents booking an eligible West End show can receive £20 off their first Bubble childcare booking, helping make that long-awaited night out a little easier to organise.
Which West End shows can parents see?
There is a huge choice of theatre available, with shows to suit a variety of tastes.
Fancy something funny? There’s Avenue Q. Looking for a little fright? Paranormal Activity promises an evening with a difference. For musical theatre fans, there is the magic of The Lion King, Wicked, Hamilton and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Other options include:
- Beetlejuice
- Hadestown
- High School Musical
- The Devil Wears Prada
- The Hunger Games
- Cabaret
- Cats
- Death Note
- Hercules
- As You Like It
With such a wide range of productions available, parents can choose between a proper date night, an evening with friends or simply a chance to enjoy a show they’ve been wanting to see.

Time for parents to have some fun too
Sarah Hesz, Co-founder of Bubble, says that parents are often very good at creating routines and plans for everyone else, but can forget to make time for themselves.
“September is a great time to get back to routine and put yourself at the heart of it,” she says.
She adds that trusted childcare can give parents the confidence to enjoy a date night, theatre trip or evening with friends – and that taking time for yourself doesn’t mean stepping away from family life.
For parents who have spent the summer putting everyone else’s entertainment first, a West End show could be the perfect excuse to reclaim an evening for themselves.
