Charlie and The Chocolate Factory Theatre breaks

A classic Roald Dahl novel, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of readers for over fifty years. And now, after two screen adaptations, this delightfully dark story of Charlie Bucket and his quest for a golden ticket to a factory filled with chocolate magic is now on stage in London.

And the best news? You can enjoy Charlie and The Chocolate Factory as part of one of our fantastic theatre break packages.

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is one of the most technically dazzling shows in London's West End, truly capturing the very essence of Roald Dahl’s wonderful book.

The show might have taken five years to create but it’s certainly been worth the wait. You’ll be thrilled and amazed by the adventures of Charlie and Willy Wonka - look out for the unforgettable Oompa Loompas!

A family friendly show, our fantastic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theatre breaks combine this utterly magical show with a top-notch London hotel, giving you the ultimate trip to the capital of theatre. Can't wait for your tasty trip? Get a little flavour of the show before you go with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory official trailer.

“a lavish bonanza of a musical” The Guardian

“This musical version is certainly blessed in its leading performers” The Independent

“the glorious new musical at Drury Lane has something crucial over the two fine film versions: a real sense of invention and improvisation” whatsonstage.com

“This adaptation of Roald Dahl’s story delivers visual ravishment and a warm glow” Financial Times

• Director Sam Mendes may now be best known for the 2012 Bond film “Skyfall”, but he was a major force on the stage before that, successfully bringing Cabaret and Oliver to the West End in 1994. We think this may be the reason the Dahl estate finally authorised a stage version of the show.

Both minimum age and recommended age are 7+

With a focus on family bookings, it can be hard to secure discounts during school holidays, though there are plenty of excellent seats in the lower price bands. Especially for those who are happy sitting in the high-up balcony, clear views needn’t come at a premium. Outside of holidays, book Monday-Thursday for Gold discounts to keep your Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theatre break as cheap as possible!
