Feasts, Festive Shows & Cocktails: London’s Holiday Line‑Up
From Dickensian feasting to queer rom‑com chaos, nostalgic TV specials to traditional music‑hall variety, London’s festive theatre scene is bursting with personality this season. We’re excited to be reviewing all of the following shows. We’ve even found the perfect bar to
The Fit Prince (who gets switched on in the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here))
From the creators of Gwyneth Goes Skiing and Diana, Awkward Productions’ 5-star outrageously queer rom-com parody transfers from its sell-out Edinburgh run to London for Christmas. Expect outrageous comedy, frosty castles, and festive chaos.
Location: Kings Head Theatre
Dates: 2nd Dec- 3rd January

The Christmas Thing

The Lucky Pig
Away from the stage lights, The Lucky Pig in Fitzrovia offers its own brand of festive cheer. With cosy décor, vintage touches, live music, and a brand‑new seasonal cocktail menu, it’s the perfect spot for Christmas catch‑ups or end‑of‑year parties. Sip on handcrafted creations like the Gingerbread Sour, Rose‑Merry Margarita, and Mulled Wine Sour. High‑end nibbles and performances from resident DJs and rising bands complete the atmosphere. Flexible bookings for groups of 2–80 make it easy to celebrate in style.
