Know Before You Go
The Nutcracker runs at the London Coliseum from 11 December 2025 to 11 January 2026. Evening performances typically take place Mondays to Saturdays at 7:30pm, with matinee performances at 2:30pm on select days. The London Coliseum is located on St Martin's Lane in London's Covent Garden area. English National Ballet provides audio-described performances and relaxed showings for audiences with additional access needs—check the schedule when booking. Tickets are recommended to be purchased well in advance, as performances sell out quickly during the festive season. Children of all ages are welcome, though younger children may find the 2-3 hour duration challenging without an intermission.
Hot Tip
Book your tickets early and consider attending a weekday matinee performance to avoid weekend crowds and secure better seat selections at the London Coliseum. If you're bringing children, the 2:30pm Saturday matinee on 13 December or the relaxed performance on 8 January at 1pm may be ideal, as relaxed performances offer a more flexible atmosphere with adjusted lighting and sound levels.
