Family Tours
We're piloting some great Family-Friendly Tours for you and your family to experience. Be led by our in-house expert guide with whom you'll journey through the theatre’s 253-year history – from the origin of its beautiful Georgian design, to tales of the myriad first-class actors who have trod our boards over the years.
Explore the recent developments to our building: the new front of house foyer space, studio theatre, and our heritage offer. Also enjoy the classic elements of the building that have kept this theatre running for over 250 years, including access to areas such as our historic auditorium.
The perfect outing for grown-ups and growing-ups alike – be inspired by the history of theatre and Bristol Old Vic’s rich story.
Additional Info
- The tour will start from our foyer, near the Box Office and will last 45 minutes.
- The tour is free, but we would like some feedback afterwards so we know what was interesting and if there was anything you felt we should add or could improve. There will be a form ready at the end of your tour.
- The Tour includes steps, and whilst every effort has been made to make this tour accessible, the gallery can only be accessed via steps
As a working theatre with ongoing performances, rehearsals and other technical work, there are certain times when parts of the building will be inaccessible. We always endeavour to provide a true behind-the-scenes experience, but in rare circumstances it may be necessary for tours to be rescheduled.
