Experience Horrible Histories in London

London weekend break

Event: Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain
Dates: February 14th to September 1st 
Venue: Garrick Theatre

Families heading to the capital to see the historical sights may want to take the opportunity to see a theatrical hit that could help explain their complexities in a more entertaining way.

Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain recounts the country's past and leaves none of the more unpleasant details out, which means it could be a perfect highlight for those people enjoying a London weekend break.

Young and old alike will learn about key events in bygone eras including the Roman invasion and the gunpowder plot.

The stage show is based on the Bafta-winning television series of the same name and has recently enjoyed a successful stint in Birmingham, for which the Times awarded the production four stars.

Theatre lovers on a London weekend break may want to follow the performance with a fine meal at the Roux at The Landau.

Families can then book in for a good night's sleep in one of the Oxford Street hotels such as The Langham.
