Life's a stage at Bristol Old Vic

Bristol Old Vic, the longest continuously running theatre in the UK, will be opening its doors this autumn as a quirky wedding venue.

Set on a quiet cobbled street with a grand Georgian frontage, this 250-year-old building is set to welcome couples to tie the knot after a multi-million pound transformation. The Grade I listed Coopers Hall is the centrepiece of the venue. Its high ceilings and huge arched windows, which flood the space with natural light, mean the elegantly renovated hall will provide all the romance and drama that such a special occasion demands.

“What better place to say 'I do' than in a setting that's seen some of the greatest romantic plays of all time?” says Emma Stenning, chief executive of Bristol Old Vic. “It's a truly inspiring place to start your life together, and you can feast on some of the best food around thanks to Fosters (www.fostersevents.co.uk), who've been providing the catering for our special celebrations for years.”
