Description
Opened in 1766, the Bristol Old Vic is the oldest continuously working theatre in the English-speaking world. Step into centuries of history with our Bristol Theatre tour.
Our expert guide will lead the way, providing you with insight into the history of the theatre. See what goes on behind the scenes and discover some of the most famous names to have performed on the stage in front of you. Having held world-class productions over the years, such as ‘Hamlet’, there is a lot to learn, including the dramatic stories of a time when the theatre’s doors were threatened to close for good.
Get a look inside the auditorium and go backstage for an insight into how the theatre works today. Reflect on the theatre’s past and the role it has played over the years. Have any questions along the way? Our knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer questions and go into detail about the history, present and future of the Old Vic.
This informative experience is a great way to delve deep into the theatrical stories and events that have taken place at the Bristol Old Vic. Whether you have a passion for the theatre, history, or would just like to explore inside the oldest theatre in the UK, this tour is perfect for all.
