He has been working hard all year, now it is time to let your Dad know how much you appreciate him with Theatre Breaks Father’s Day Ideas.

This year’s Father’s Day is on Sunday 18th June so don’t forget to spoil the special man in your life! It’s a great excuse to spoil your Dad, Grandad or partner and we have some great gift ideas for a weekend away he’ll never forget.

If he’s a lover of musicals, there are tonnes of shows he will love. :

Bat Out of Hell (yes, that’s Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell) – New musical at the London Coliseum;

Motown – a must see for any lover of the Detroit sound;
Thriller Live! – you will believe Michael Jackson is still alive & kicking;
School of Rock – Great new musical to find your inner rock god and stick it to the man;
Book of Mormon – Not for the faint hearted, a rollocking comedy musical that will have laughing all the way to the pub afterwards!

There’s also some excellent plays in London’s West End this June. Check out :

Woman in Black – If your Dad is a fan of the thriller and things that go bump in the night, then this is just the ticket;
The Mousetrap – A fantastic “who-dunnit” which never gets old, as good now as it was 55 years ago;
The Play That Goes Wrong / The Comedy About A Bank Robbery – Slap-stick comedy at it’s ultimate best!

But why not try something different?

We also have Premier League stadium tours available to book, so whether he’s a red or a blue he can wear his colours proudly at either the Emirates or Stamford Bridge both of which can be added on to your theatre break (Scroll down to Add Optional Extras when you get the Review Your Booking page). If he’s a city or united fan, we also have tours of the Ethiad Stadium and Old Trafford.

Gardening Packages for Dads

Is he a bit of a green-fingered whizz in the garden? Then why not book a amazing day at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show, RHS Chelsea Flower Show or take a stroll around the grounds of the majestic Tatton Park in Cheshire.

Different Ideas for Father’s Day

Alternatively if you want to take him to the Harry Potter Studio Tour you can book that anytime during 2017.

Around the UK there is the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in August or what about taking in a Shakespeare play on a short break to Stratford-Upon-Avon?

Of course he may just like to kick back with his favourite comedian or band. So if he likes a laugh or maybe he likes his music check out what is happening at the O2.
