Sussex Branch Activities

Monthly Rambles are held between April and October for Branch members and invited guest.

Matinée Club - this new venture enables our members and their friends to buy heavily discounted tickets for West End shows in London (and occasionally shows in provincial theatres in our area).   We are able to get big reductions in ticket prices, although usually at quite short notice.

Members of other BTPF Branches are invited to join our mailing list (either email or postal).  A small contribution to help with postage costs would be appreciated - a book of 6 second class stamps per annum is suggested.

To join our mailing list: please click here to contact our Social Organiser, Claire Wickes and join the mailing list.

Recent events:  we have attended performances of Buddy at the Duchess Theatre and The Sound of Music at the London Palladium.

Next event: The Lion King - click here for booking details.

Disney's musical phenomenon THE LION KING continues to captivate audiences of all ages. Combining dazzling staging and highly imaginative costumes, masks and puppets, this astonishing show at the Lyceum Theatre uses breathtaking theatrical magic to tell the story of Simba’s epic journey to reclaim his kingdom. Set to the evocative rhythms and seductive sounds of Africa, this multi-award winning musical redefines the audience's expectations of theatre, giving you the opportunity to witness a world exploding with glorious colours, stunning effects, and heart-warming music.

Items marked * are restricted to Sussex Branch members, who may invite only one guest (who might be a husband or wife)
