Bristol Old Vic have been awarded NPO funding from Arts Council England for the next three years.

Bristol Old Vic has been offered £1.25m for the next three years as part of Arts Council England's investment programme for 2023 - 2026.

The investment enables Bristol Old Vic to continue to co-create and deliver creative opportunities that will engage thousands of Bristolians of all ages, support South West based artists and companies, and originate bold new theatre productions that will thrill and entertain audiences in Bristol, the UK and beyond. 

Bristol Old Vic's Chief Executive Charlotte Geeves said:
"We are delighted to remain part of Arts Council England's national portfolio organisations and welcome the Investment Programme’s support of England’s world class cultural sector through this wide-ranging portfolio of companies. 

We offer our love and support to colleagues and friends across the sector who have also been through this process and received their own funding news today.

We are now looking forward to delivering an exciting programme of work from Jan - Jul '23, the transfer of Giles Terera’s The Meaning of Zong to the Barbican, and, in spring next year, announcing Nancy Medina’s first season as Artistic Director."
