It’s a New Year! and In the coming weeks The Old Market Assembly and The Wardrobe Theatre will be celebrating a decade of vibrant show making including a week long 10th Birthday Party from the 19th – 24th January. You can read how Bristol’s leading fringe theatre established itself here.
Friday 23rd January will be the big 10th Birthday Party, with a performance from local legends The Bristol Hornstars. Born from Bristol University’s Big Band Society, The Bristol Hornstars are one of the city’s most loved jazz bands. Expect live jazz, dancing, and flowing drinks in true Old Market Assembly style.
In partnership with The Wardrobe Theatre, the Snug Gallery will showcase a trip down memory lane with never-before-seen photographs from the venue’s earliest days.
It’s a week designed not just to celebrate the past ten years, but to invite Bristol to be part of the next ten.
