A theatre, in a pub!
Alma Tavern Theatre is steeped in culture and history and is actually the oldest pub theatre in Bristol.
The venue opened in 1997 after it was converted from two separate function rooms into a small but perfectly formed black box theatre with 48 in-tiered seating.
The Alma Tavern Tavern has since proved itself to be an incredibly versatile space that has presented hundreds of theatrical production in Bristol, many of which have been world premieres. This, in addition to having close links with the majority of prestigious theatre companies in the city, has led to the Alma Tavern Theatre being recognised as one of the region's premiere theatre companies.
The theatre has also consistently championed new writing, and for many years Theatre West held a seasonal writing residency there. Alma Tavern Theatre also works with an encourages the South West's university societies and amateur dramatic groups and regularly presents productions by some of the country's best touring theatres. The venue also works closely with Red Rope, Hecate Theatre and the Bristol Old Vic.
The dynamic and diverse programme of theatrical productions reflects the vibrant, eclectic nature of Bristol itself, and it continually proving itself to be one of the most inspiring, innovative and exciting theatres in, not just this city, but the whole of the UK.
