Bristol Old Vic is the oldest working theatre in the English speaking world and this year it is celebrating its 250th anniversary with a major project that will create a new heritage visitor attraction by utilising records and archives based in the city and transform its facilities to create a heritage business.
Museums and Heritage writes:
The latest project is a two-year build with the planning and outreach commencing in 2018, with heritage engagement becoming a major part of the permanent work of Bristol Old Vic and the theatre’s story will become an inspiration for a wide range of activities. The project will also allow the theatre team to decode and explain the theatre’s architectural story over time from its Georgian origins to 20th century interventions and of course the latest developments.
