About the Lyric Hammersmith

The Lyric Hammersmith is a brilliant West London theatre with shows and activities for all ages. From Saturday shows for under-11s to teen workshops and a free Young Lyric membership, it’s fun, inclusive, and full of creative energy – plus there’s a rooftop café for post-show snacks.

Top tip from the KidRated Team:

Join Young Lyric (it’s free!) before you visit – it gets you super-cheap tickets, fun workshops, and your kids feeling like theatre VIPs.

Quick Inspiration

Anything to look out for?

Yes – the Saturday morning shows for under-11s are a hidden gem. During holidays, Young Lyric events are a winner. And if the sun’s out, the Rooftop Garden BBQ is a total vibe.

What age group is it best for?

Something for everyone – under-11s love the morning shows, teens thrive in workshops, and grown-ups (yes, even grandparents) enjoy clever, crowd-pleasing performances.

Will it cost a fortune?

Not at all. Main show prices vary, but with Young Lyric, kids and teens can get tickets for just £5. There are also affordable classes and events throughout the year – some are even free.

If we only try one thing, what should it be?

Try a Young Lyric show or workshop – they’re fun, inclusive and a great confidence boost for budding performers. Or catch a family-friendly musical and grab pizza (and a selfie!) on the rooftop.

Best selfie spots?

Try the rooftop garden for a sunny snap or grab a picture by one of the arty posters or signs in the foyer. Drama kid + stage door = gold.

What’s nearby for a pre- or post-show wander?

Ravenscourt Park is just around the corner if you need some runaround time, or head to Westfield Shepherd’s Bush if retail therapy is your family’s vibe.

Is it buggy and wheelchair friendly?

Yes – fully accessible with lifts, wide doors and friendly staff who’ll help you find your seats. They also run inclusive performances. Check ahead for sensory-friendly shows.

Anywhere to eat nearby or inside?

Yes, the Lyric Bar & Grill has great kids’ meals, and the Rooftop Garden is lovely in warm weather. There are loads of family-friendly food spots, from noodles to pizza, all within a short stroll.

Would grandparents enjoy it?

They’ll love it. It’s smaller and friendlier than the West End, matinees are comfy, and the rooftop’s perfect for a treat. Best of all? Watching your grandkid shine on stage.
