Dear Annabella

I had made up my mind to order two gifts that I found on the site recently – a guided tour of a London theatre with a meal afterwards.

I waited till a little closer to Christmas before ordering the two gifts and disaster !!! I cannot find them now, they would have been the perfect gifts.

Can you help?

Dear Sylvia

Alas! My dear I am afraid that you are correct in thinking that the theatre tour and dinner has been taken down. This is because Drury Lane are currently having a rejig before Oliver! begins – a delightful show wouldn’t you agree? They are busy flinging sets around and making a terrible mess, so I rather fear your friends would find their tour quite hazardous at this point.

We do hope to re-instate the tour after the dust has settled and Oliver! is in full swing, but I’m afraid I can’t say exactly when this will be. Might you consider a Theatre and Dinner for Two package instead? For around the same price your friends can enjoy an exciting evening out at a show of their choice – I remember the thrill of the stage from days gone by, the face paint, the costumes… but that is quite another story.

Do let me know if you require any other assistance, a friendly emailification over tea perhaps.

Best, Annabella
