Mannions Matinees BARNUM Liverpool Empire

Calling all Theatre lovers! Barnum first took the UK by storm when it played the London Palladium with Michael Crawford making theatrical history with a death-defying nightly tightrope walk across the stage. Now its back to return into Barnum’s shoes and on to the tightrope!

New for 2026!

We know how much you love a show, so watch out for our Mannions Matinees!

Step right up and enter the dazzling world of P.T. Barnum, where imagination and ambition know no bounds. Hand in hand with wife Charity, Barnum’s life and career twists and turns as he schemes and dreams his way to headier heights.

This spectacular new staging will feature an extraordinary ensemble cast of over 20 actor-musicians playing 150 instruments, acrobats and amazing circus acts. Audiences are certain to delight at every sight, wonder and miracle that the name Barnum stands for!

With free time in Liverpool prior to the matinee performance, we include tickets in the Stalls to enjoy this wonderful show!

Departing after the show we hope to arrive in our local area around 8pm (traffic depending!)
