Bristol Old Vic
Bristol Old Vic is one of Bristol’s most important cultural landmarks and the oldest continuously working theatre in the English-speaking world. Located on historic King Street, the theatre has been at the heart of Bristol’s cultural life since 1766.
Today Bristol Old Vic presents an ambitious programme of theatre, comedy, family shows, live music, dance and other performances, combining productions from its own creative team with visiting artists and companies from across the UK and beyond.
The theatre has undergone major redevelopment while retaining the character and heritage of its historic building. Visitors can enjoy the main auditorium, Studio Theatre, Café Bar, free exhibitions and guided heritage tours exploring the remarkable history of the building.
Bristol Old Vic also plays an important role in supporting artists and Bristol’s creative community, with opportunities for new work, creative development and community participation.
With its extraordinary history, beautiful theatre and constantly changing programme, Bristol Old Vic is an essential destination for anyone interested in theatre, culture and the arts in Bristol.
