A Merry Old Variety Night

A Merry Old Variety Night

Get ready for a spectacular Variety Night at Stratford East as we continue to celebrate our 140th anniversary with flare!

Whether you’re a longtime friend or new to the scene, we would love you to join us for an unforgettable evening of entertainment, as we bring back the magic of Stratford East’s iconic Variety Nights.

This joyous evening pays tribute to its long and lively tradition of variety nights. From Joan Littlewood’s revolutionary work in the 1950s that redefined popular entertainment, to the many evenings of music hall, mischief and local talent that have graced its stage, Stratford East has always been a home for the bold and the brilliant. 

Come dressed to impress, raise a glass, and help us blow out the candles as we honour 140 years on the Stratford East stage.

Grab your tickets, bring your loved ones and prepare for an evening packed with laughter, surprises, and unforgettable entertainment!

Presented by Stratford East and made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
