• The show is recommended for children over the age of five. 

• Children under the age of three will NOT be admitted. 

• Children between three and five may watch the show, but customers may be asked to leave without a refund if they are unable to sit quietly.

• In NO circumstance will babes in arms be allowed into the show.

• Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult for Health and Safety reasons.

• All children who meet the age requirements must have a ticket in order to see the show.  They will not be permitted to sit on the laps of anyone in the group.

The Lion King is a family show, but is also important to remember that the age limit is strictly three years old and toddlers will not be admitted. This is a strict limit, but the Lyceum Theatre recommend bringing children no younger than five, as it may be too long for little ones.

The stalls are enormous in the Lyceum Theatre, and sloped too, so children have more of a chance of getting a decent view than they might in many theatres. The stalls and the Royal Circle would be the best choice if you are taking children, but if you are taking little ones to any show, it is always advisable to take a cushion just in case.

Lyceum Theatre

In the heart of Covent Garden, the large auditorium has three levels: Stalls, Royal Circle and Grand Circle. As shown in the seating plan below the seats bottleneck towards the front of the Stalls. This means that most seats have good central views, though the end two seats of certain rows are slightly sidelined (rows A to K). The Royal Circle and Grand Circle have generous high views; however the last rows in the Stalls and Royal Circle suffer from a slight overhang. The curvature of the Grand Circle means there are a number of restricted views for seats at the sides (Row J backwards).
