Your Story, Our Stage
Throughout May 2026Bristol Old Vic is inviting Bristolians to connect their own family stories to the theatre’s remarkable past.
Share a significant date in your family history – perhaps when families moved to Bristol, a birthday, wedding anniversary, or another meaningful moment – and Bristol Old Vic’s Heritage Team will reveal what was being performed on the theatre’s stage on that very date, anywhere between 30 May 1766 and today.
Discover how your story and Bristol Old Vic’s story may be more closely connected than you think.
How to submit your special dates:
Comment on the post on Bristol Old Vic’s Instagram or Facebook channel, or email your special date to press@bristololdvic.org.uk - please include any details of why it's significant to you. Look out for your stage connection coming back at you during our birthday month!
