Mayfest 2008

Following five successful years at Bristol Old Vic, Mayfest is back with a bang for the sixth year running. Bristol’s annual festival of physical, visual and experimental theatre is spreading its wings to present two jam-packed weeks of some of the best new performance around in multiple venues across the city.

Mayfest is a celebration of inventive, stylish and ambitious new work that invigorates and inspires audiences. 2008’s festival features artists from across the UK and beyond alongside the brightest new talent from right on your doorstep.

This year, Mayfest introduces new ingredients to the mix, including an opening party, workshops, talks and much much more.

The festival takes place in venues across the city, including the Tobacco Factory, Arnolfini, the Alma Tavern, Circomedia, the Wickham Theatre and various site-specific locations to present a Spring-time feast of unique, playful and exhilarating new theatre.
