Magic & Illusion In The West End

The West End re-opened in 2021 with the world’s greatest magic stars delivering incredible jaw-dropping illusions, close-up magic and mind-boggling wonderment at ‘Wonderville: Magic & Illusion’ at the Palace Theatre.

Following that smash-hit season – watched by over 25,000 people – the producers of ‘Wonderville: Magic & Illusion’ introduce the latest addition to the UK’s premier magic brand in the heart of the West End with Wonderville, where audiences will become immersed in a purpose-built intimate cabaret table seated venue just 2 minutes from Piccadilly Circus.

Not only the stages but the whole bar, theatre and cafe will be designed in the world of Wonderville by seven times Offie-nominated Justin Williams (‘Wonderville: Magic & Illusion’, ‘Death Drop’, ‘Soho Cinders’). Walk through the doors and you will immediately be greeted by magic, mystery and the unexpected.

Wonderville will be open as a café and bar from 12noon – 12am, with performances from Tuesday – Sunday at 8pm and weekend matinees at 3pm. It will be the perfect hang-out space during the day, but when night falls, prepare for surprises and marvel at any time when you are in the world of Wonderville…
