Luxury hotel and theatre deals
Sometimes, especially if you’ve a busy schedule taking a whole weekend away from work is difficult. So you take the laptop with you and hope for good hotel broadband…
Book a 5* Hotel and get a free upgrade
Friday, Saturday and Sunday overnight stays you can book the 5* Andaz Hotel by Hyatt and receive a free upgrade to a King size room. The Andaz is a mix of Victorian opulence and state-of-the-art technology. The Andaz was the old Great Eastern building near Liverpool St station and it’s been very stylishly updated.
Andaz by Hyat hotel deals
Your upgraded King room is 29-sq.-metre. It features a plush king bed, oversized work desk and bath with ecologically friendly shower, fast-fill tub and hot towel rail, air conditioning, and a gorgeous modern design. Enjoy complimentary amenities such as healthy mini-bar, local phone calls, wired and wireless Internet access, iPod dock and the luxury of yukata robes.
You might think this sort of luxury would be horribly expensive and normally you’d be right! To stay one Friday night in June at full price would cost you £270!
But book it as a hotel deal as part of a theatre break and prices start from just £92 per person including your show ticket (one night stay plus tickets for Woman in Black – many other great shows and musicals also available )
I often see this hotel as I walk out from Liverpool St Station and it looks so inviting. It would be a great place to stay for a weekend theatre break and what with the desk and the great connectivity one of you might even get some work done!
Personally, if I stayed Saturday night I’d be off down to the nearby Columbia Rd Flower Market next morning. You can often find me there on summer Sunday mornings browsing through all the gorgeous shabby chic garden accessories, drinking in the atmosphere (and the great coffee!) and even buying the occasional plant.
If I can’t stagger down to the flower market there’s always the very trendy, recently totally refurbished Spitalfields Market just across the road from Liverpool St Station. It’s lovely down there on a Sunday morning with a real buzz, lots of unique craft and fashion, some ‘antique’ or vintage stalls and some interesting shops. There are some nice places to lunch there too.
Of course you might never make it out of the luxury of that wonderful king sized room… and that’s good too!

Calendar Girls Theatre Breaks Offer
This is a good time of year to grab value for money theatre breaks so it’s a great time to book if you fancy treating yourself to a bit of affordable luxury.
Calendar Girls with afternoon tea at Fortnum & Masons, tickets for the show and hotel. Prices from £131 per person.
Calendar Girls is seriously funny and totally star packed. I expect we all know the hilarious story of those brave WI ladies and the blow they struck for middle aged women everywhere.
What a great chance to see some of the best British acting talent all in one show! The cast includes:
Lynda Bellingham, (love her, she’ll always be the Oxo Mum to me!)
Patricia Hodge,(remember Lives and Loves of a She Devil?)
not to mention Sian Phillips, Gaynor Faye, Brigit Forsyth, Julia Hills and of course, Elaine C Smith.
You can read more artoicles about the show on the Calendar Girls category.
And if you’re not sure what Afternoon Tea at Fortum & Masons will be like take a look at this post Afternoon Tea
Show and Stay have called this deal “Considerably bigger buns” which is a quote from the show. I think we can leave you to work out the context 
but if you’re not sure there’s a clue in that cast picture!
The low down:
The £131 price is based on:
- Calendar Girls tickets,
- Afternoon tea at Fortum & Masons
- 1 night at the 3* Travelodge Kings Cross Royal Scott
Of course, as usual with Show and Stay, you can add your train tickets when you book and save up to 40% on those as well.
The ** Calendar Girls Theatre Break offer ** is available for stays up to and including 18 September 2009.

We Will Rock You New Year Record Breaker
** Book We Will Rock You Theatre Breaks **
We Will Rock You has already turned 2009 into a record breaking New Year. It achieved the highest number of paid admissions in one week for any West End show last year. More than 20,000 tickets were bought in the six days following the 29th of December.
Brian May to Appear in We Will Rock You!
Brian May, one of the co-creators of We Will Rock You will be visiting the show on Saturday the 10th of January. On his site brianmay.com May says:
‘I usually try to keep it casual, because really it’s all about me bonding with the cast and band and crew, and sharing a little bit of their load … but I always get stick from people saying “You didn’t tell us you were going to be there!” So this time, I’ll say it quietly but clearly … I WILL be there Saturday 10th, and I will be making a small appearance (or is it “apparition”?) in the matinee and evening shows. It’s not an advertised part of the show – it’s just a fun bonus, which happens about once a year … but it’s always a blast. It will be doubly exciting this time, since the last time I tried it, the lift got stuck, and I ended up in a very dark smoky cage under the stage for the whole of the solo in Bohemian Rhapsody. So we will be trying not to repeat that effect !!!’ ‘This Saturday is WWRY Party day … we will be celebrating between shows, and afterwards, entering our 8th year of Rocking London in 2009, with The Greatest Show In Town !!! See ya there … let’s rock into the New Year.’
Wish I had tickets for tomorrow’s show!! We had a real blast when we went to see We Will Rock You last year. It’s definitely on my list to re-visit. Ideally I’d like to see Rachel Tucker’s occasional Scaramouche but seeing Brian May in the production would be good too!
We Will Rock You Special Offer
It’s worth mentioning that there are some very special offers available at the moment for We Will Rock You theatre breaks, with a free hotel included in the £60 per person ticket price for weekday performances between now and 26 March 2009
