Time Out describes it as a plush, circus-themed Soho nightspot where magicians, sword-swallowers and cabaret acts work the room while DJs play to the dancefloor, and that show is a big part of what the entry price buys. Joining the Cirque le Soir guestlist through London Night Guide is free, and it is the easiest way in on most nights.
New Year's Eve 2026: New Year's Eve 2026 falls on Thursday 31 December; Cirque le Soir opens that night and tables should be booked early. See our Cirque le Soir NYE 2026 guide for how New Year's Eve tables and deposits work.
Entry Price at Cirque Le Soir
Cirque Le Soir operates a door charge that varies depending on the night, the time you arrive, and whether you're on the guestlist. There is no single published price: the charge on the night is set by the door, and it is usually higher at the weekend and on event nights.
The most cost-effective way to get in is through the London Night Guide guestlist: it costs nothing to join, and it gives you priority access at the door.
Guestlist Entry
Joining the guestlist is the smartest way to experience Cirque Le Soir. Through London Night Guide's free guestlist service, you get:
- Entry: entry charge varies based on the night and availability. Guestlist entry can sometimes be complimentary and is often around £20, but it can be more depending on the night or event
- Shared host table: access to a shared host table where drinks are available
- Faster queue: guestlist arrivals have a separate, faster queue at the door
- Confirmed spot: your name is on the list, so the door team is expecting you
- No commitment: if your plans change, there's no cancellation fee
To join the guestlist, simply submit your details through our Cirque Le Soir guestlist page. We'll confirm your spot, usually within a few hours.
Walk-In / Door Entry
If you're not on the guestlist, walk-in entry to Cirque Le Soir is possible but comes at a higher price and isn't guaranteed. Walk-in entry prices vary with the night and availability, and Saturday is usually the most expensive night. The door team also exercises discretion on walk-in entry, so being well-dressed and arriving at a reasonable time improves your chances.
Prices are approximate and can vary based on special events, holidays, and the door team's discretion. The guestlist is always the most reliable and cost-effective option.
VIP Table Entry
If you book a VIP table at Cirque Le Soir, entry is included in your reservation: no additional door charge applies. Table bookings come with a minimum spend requirement, which covers bottles and mixers. This is the premium option that guarantees your group gets in without queuing.
For full details on bottle service pricing and minimum spend, see our Cirque Le Soir bottle prices guide. VIP tables at Cirque Le Soir are in high demand, so we recommend booking at least a few days in advance for weekends.
Cirque le Soir Tickets
Searches for Cirque le Soir tickets usually come from people expecting to buy entry in advance, the way you would for a gig. Regular club nights do not work like that: you get in on the guestlist, by paying on the door, or with a table. When a special event or a named performer is announced, the details and any advance entry arrangements are confirmed when you enquire, so ask us before you buy anything from a third party. If you want certainty for a Friday or Saturday, a table is the only option that guarantees your group gets in.
Age, ID and Dress Code at the Door
The door policy affects what you pay as much as the night does, because a refusal at the door means no entry at all. As of November 2026 Cirque le Soir admits 18+, rising to 21+ at weekends, and every guest needs valid photo ID. The dress code is smart and elegant: heels or smart evening boots for women, and a smart shirt, trousers and proper shoes for men, with sportswear, trainers and caps refused. Our Cirque le Soir dress code guide has the full list.
Entry Price by Night
Cirque Le Soir is open on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and pricing varies across the week:
- Monday: Typically the most affordable night to visit. Walk-in prices are lower and guestlist entry is easier to secure.
- Wednesday: Typically the most affordable night to visit. Walk-in prices are lower and guestlist entry is easier to secure.
- Friday: A busy night with strong demand. Guestlist entry is highly recommended. Walk-in prices are moderate to high.
- Saturday: The most popular and typically most expensive night. Guestlist entry is essential: walk-in prices peak on Saturday and the door is at its most selective.
Regardless of the night, the free guestlist always offers the best value.
