Tobacco Factory Theatres produces and presents excellent theatre in its iconic building in Bristol, offsite in the South West and on tour nationally and internationally.
We present a jam-packed programme of diverse and exciting shows, workshops and events, from international comedy acts to opera, family shows to modern classics and timeless masterpieces. It also runs an expansive programme of engagement, participation and development opportunities for young people, artists and audiences.
Tobacco Factory Theatres has forged an inspirational path to becoming one of the country’s most respected venues. The diversity of the programme, combined with the astonishing average attendance capacity of 80%, make it one of the most well-attended, loved and popular theatres in the country.
We are at a key moment in the theatre’s evolution and a step change in the level of our ambitions. We recognise that a truly great theatre is all about the consistent production of great shows and to achieve this we are investing ambitiously in more of our own productions and co-productions with key partners.
The redevelopment of Tobacco Factory Theatres saw it building the brand new 84-seat Spielman Theatre, refurbishing backstage areas and improving front of house areas in 2018.
