Bristol Old Vic, which opened its doors in 1766 as a gathering place for the people of Bristol, is the world’s oldest continually operating theatre in the English-speaking world. This landmark was constructed as a sign of the pride Bristolians feel in their city and in what it is capable of doing, and it continues to be a source of delight, discovery, and adventure to this day. An extensive multi-million-pound renovation of the Old Vic’s front of house has recently been completed. With a brand new Studio Theatre, a relaxing and fully accessible front of house space, a bar and kitchen serving everything from tasty treats with a morning coffee to an evening meal, and a new interactive heritage offering that allows visitors to discover and enjoy the 250-year history of this unique building at their own pace, the new building is a must-see for anyone visiting the city.
