Best Family Shows at The Mayflower Theatre in 2017

THE MAYFLOWER THEATRE, SOUTHAMPTON

The Mayflower Theatre is the biggest theatre on the south coast with over 2,300 seats in the auditorium – they bring a diverse range of shows to Southampton, presenting a mixture of spectacular touring productions, from musicals – many direct from the West End – to dance, opera, drama, ballet and comedy.

Below is an overview of the year ahead – most shows will require plenty of advanced booking especially as the runs are so short.

The Mayflower is very easily to get to: it is a short drive from both Junction 5 (Westbound) and Junction 3 (Eastbound) of the M27 and Junction 14 of the M3 following signs of the City Centre. The postcode is SO15 1GE. i

It does not have its own parking but there are two large multi-storey car parks within 3 minutes walk of the Theatre. MSCP West Park Road and Grosvenor Square both have 500+ spaces and are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Charging times vary at both.
