Bristol’s Old Vic theatre to undergo £12m refurbishment
Bristol’s Old Vic theatre is set to undergo a £12m refurbishment to coincide with its 250th anniversary in 2016. The work has been approved by the City Council and will include a new spacious entrance foyer, new studio theatre, improved bar and restaurant facilities, as well as returning Coppers’ Hall (old foyer) to its original 18th-century function as an events space. Tom Morris, artistic director, said, “The plans have unlocked Bristol Old Vic’s historical riches.”
