Family Day
A Day of Free Family ActivitiesThere are secrets hidden in the walls of Bristol Old Vic, join us this Family Day to uncover them…
There will be tours, trails, crafts and even a free performance from Made in Bristol, our trainee theatre troop, to find some untold stories from our 258-year-old theatre.
If you still want to know more, book your tickets to The Mystery of Bristol Old Vic to expose the truth in an interactive murder mystery case, this half term.
