Bristol Theatre Royal

Magnificent architecture surrounds a leafy square that is the location for an annual comedy festival, among other cultural events.

Bristol’s oldest market is still very much alive with merchants and shoppers. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are the best days to visit.

This historic theater offers a wide variety of entertainment, from West End productions and Broadway shows, to traditional pantomimes and opera.

Movie screenings, festivals, art exhibitions and live music present a busy schedule of events at this digital media center.
