Two Swindon theatres are to take part in a national Black Friday campaign offering huge discounts on ticket prices.

The Wyvern Theatre and Swindon Arts Centre, both part of the Trafalgar Theatres group, have signed up for the nationwide Black Friday Theatre Event.

The campaign means customers will be able to enjoy savings on tickets for various shows.

The national event, organised by London Theatre Direct and Trafalgar Tickets, will see more than 200 productions across at least 60 venues offer discounts of up to 60 per cent.

Ticket prices will start from £15.

The campaign will run from Monday, November 18 to Sunday, December 8.

It aims to provide theatre enthusiasts with affordable access to performances including pantomimes, family shows, comedy, and musicals.

Laura James, Swindon Theatres director, said: "With Christmas just around the corner, this is the perfect time for Wyvern Theatre and Swindon Arts Centre customers to access some amazing Black Friday theatre ticket deals, not only for our venue, but for some of the biggest theatre shows in the West End.

"We’re delighted to be part of this exciting collaborative campaign with our Trafalgar colleagues for the first time.

"Festive favourites and Christmas performances are sure to be in high demand, so grab these quickly and enjoy a magical, budget-friendly, holiday experience with family and friends.

"But customers don’t have to book over the busy festive periods - the best availability will be in the new year, a great way to start 2025."

In addition to West End and London shows, Trafalgar Theatres, including the Wyvern Theatre and Swindon Arts Centre, will offer discounts of up to 50 per cent on tickets.

Johan Oosterveld, chief executive of Trafalgar Tickets and London Theatre Direct, said: "Black Friday marks an exciting milestone for us at Trafalgar Tickets and London Theatre Direct, as it’s the first time we’re bringing together exclusive offers from both West End shows and our regional UK theatres.

"This time of year is a peak booking period for theatre tickets, and we are thrilled to invite audiences across the country to rediscover the magic of live performance, whether they’re experiencing a show for the first time, revisiting a classic, or gifting an unforgettable experience to someone special.

"There’s no better time to be part of the magic of theatre with the UK’s Biggest Black Friday Theatre Event."

Last year’s Black Friday event saw more than 150,000 tickets sold, resulting in £3.5 million in customer savings.
