The brilliantly designed Weston Studio is a large new space in the very oldest part of Bristol Old Vic, the barrel cellars of Coopers’ Hall.

Flexible seating at three different heights is also ideal for large presentations and conferences of up to 148 delegates, including the balcony which wraps around three sides of the space.
Black metal seats upholstered in a neutral wool tweed, exposed brick walls and ‘Oxide Red’ painted wood panel strips give the space a contemporary intimacy.
