Afternoon Special

Due to popular demand, we have introduced two Afternoon Specials every month. The two events in each month will feature the same artists so just book one per month if you want to see a new show each time.

The Royal Court Afternoon Special is the new name for Variety Lunch Club. A new name but the same great afternoon at The Court! Join us for brilliant entertainers, a bowl of Scouse, a cup of tea and maybe a sweet treat all in the very best company.

Tickets are just £5 or £8.50 including a bowl of finest home-made Scouse with bread roll and red cabbage. NEW for 2026 you can enjoy a dessert for just £3. You can get your ticket, Scouse, cup of tea and a dessert (gluten free option available) for £11.50.

There is a special discount for groups with a free ticket for every 10th person (please call Box Office for details).

Afternoon Special will still feature the best in local entertainment with a variety of comedians, actors, singers and entertainers. The whole proceedings are compered by Sam Avery.

Performance information: Stalls tickets are available with a bowl of Scouse for an extra £3.50 and an additional £3 for dessert. Tickets are available for the show alone in stalls, circle and balcony. Please contact Box Office to book if you are a wheelchair user as we can only accommodate 5 spaces in our stalls seating area downstairs. If you are bringing a large group, every tenth ticket is free. Please call the box office on 0151 709 4321 to book. Please note – the bar will close 15 minutes before the advertised start time.
