A whole host of entertainment is coming to the Everyman this year, with something for everyone to enjoy, including interactive performances, lively cabaret, indulgent afternoon teas, and behind-the-scenes stories.
From the creators of the hugely popular Murder at Afternoon Tea series, DBY Interactive makes its return with a brand-new crime-solving murder mystery.
After the success of the sell-out shows Til Death Do Us Part and The City of Curses at the Everyman, the Grand Finale Audiences can now enjoy a Valentine’s Special running from Thursday 12 to Saturday 14 February, with afternoon tea served during the matinee performances.
Thrillseekers can also expect to see other instalments later in the year, including Rest in Pieces Afternoon Tea from Thursday 16 to Saturday 18 April, followed by Last One Standing from Thursday 16 to Saturday 18 July, Reunion of Revenge from Thursday 17 to Saturday 19 September, and Murder at Blackout from Thursday 3 to Saturday 5 December. Seasonal highlights to look forward to include a spine-tingling Halloween Special on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, as well as a festive Christmas Special on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 December.
For all the lonely hearts out there, Nana Funk’s Lonely Hearts Bingo on Saturday 7 February is the perfect night out. You can expect plenty of fun bingo games and laughs, with special guests Caz & Britney joining the party.
Anyone fancying a spot of karaoke will appreciate Nana Funk’s GLASTONBURYOKE! on Saturday 27 June, where Nana will lead the audience through classic hits from Worthy Farm’s finest and invite everyone to make their own kind of music.
Following their previous sold‑out cabaret success, The Spare Rib presents Galentine’s Burlesque Extravaganza on Saturday 21 February. Enjoy a brunch show at 11:30am or join for an evening of sparkle and empowerment.
Or, for those looking for a behind-the-scenes peek, you can take an exclusive hour-long tour of the Everyman Theatre and uncover the secrets that bring productions to life with Behind the Curtain: Everyman Building Tours. Tours run on Friday 13, Saturday 14 and Saturday 21 February. If you’re looking for something a little more social, Tea & Talks is a monthly gathering where conversation about the wonderful world of theatre takes centre stage. Enjoy a brew and a scone while discovering what really happens before the curtain goes up, on Friday 6 February and Friday 6 March.
New for 2026, with a proper Scouse twist, Downstairs at the Everyman invites audiences to an evening of theatre in collaboration with actors Catherine Rice and Rob Jarvis. A Pie, A Pint & A Play takes place on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 May, featuring standout performances from some of Liverpool’s finest actors alongside exciting emerging talent.
For the more adventurous, why not join Reel Tours on the third Thursday of every month to test your cinematic knowledge in Liverpool’s most exciting film quiz. If you’re looking for a laugh, Well Funny Live is a night of comedy and feel-good vibes, showcasing some of the UK’s finest comedians every fourth Thursday of the month. Each ticket helps fund vital community health and wellbeing projects through Well Funny CIC, founded by comedians Jack Miller and Amy Eggeling.
The Liverpool Scratch Network is a free monthly event dedicated to exploring new work and connecting industry professionals with emerging creatives, giving actors the chance to act, directors the chance to direct, and writers the opportunity to hear their ideas brought to life off the page.
With a vibrant mix of events and a wonderfully diverse programme at the Everyman, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. From inclusive performances to community-led experiences, it’s the perfect way to have a great night out.
