The Wardrobe Theatre is a fringe studio venue and thriving arts hub in the heart of Bristol showcasing the best theatre-makers, companies and artists from around the UK.

In December 2015 we relocated and built a new arts space in the Old Market area of the city, a shared building with The Old Market Assembly.

In 2017 we welcomed 34,000 audience members and staged over 500 performances.

Our programme is a lovingly curated mix of theatre, comedy, storytelling, live music, poetry/spoken word, dance, puppetry, cabaret, drag, improvisation, new writing and family shows, with an emphasis on emerging artists and Bristol-based work.

Regularly throughout the year we also produce/co-produce productions of our own with dynamic Bristol-based creative teams and companies, shows which often go on to tour nationally.

Tickets for all shows at The Wardrobe Theatre can be purchased in advance via Tobacco Factory Theatres’ Box Office:
Alternatively tickets can be purchased in cash on the door at The Wardrobe Theatre on the night if a show hasn’t sold out.
