Bristol Hippodrome
The Bristol Hippodrome is an Edwardian theatre in the city centre. Come for a booked show or tour; its auditorium, rather than the street exterior, is the main reason to visit.
Frank Matcham designed the theatre, which opened in 1912. Its three-level auditorium still frames large touring productions and pantomime, connecting a modern night out with the building's stage history. The show you choose determines the experience, so the programme matters more than a general sightseeing stop.
What to look for
The Edwardian auditorium rises across three seating levels.
Touring theatre and pantomime use the historic stage.
The venue is part of Bristol's central theatre district.
Useful to know
Pick a performance or scheduled tour before planning entry.
Check the seating plan for the view that suits you.
Allow time to reach the theatre before the performance begins.
