Bristol's performing arts and theatre scene is like an act from a Tom Morris* play: gripping, diverse and truly original. You will never be short of live music, dance, theatre, comedy or magic performances during your visit to Bristol. Plus the packed schedules mean there is something different to enjoy every night of the week.

For a brief introduction to theatres in Bristol... The Bristol Hippodrome proudly hosts blockbuster shows and West End musicals throughout the year but be sure to get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.

Other incredible theatres in Bristol include Bristol Old Vic, Tobacco Factory Theatres and The Redgrave Theatre. They each offer an excellent programme of performance year-round, from epic Shakespeare festivals to first shows from cutting-edge young playwrights. And make sure you check out some of the smaller, up-and-coming Bristol theatres too.

When it comes to musical performance, Bristol's finest concert halls take your breath away. Colston Hall hosts a varied selection of artists including some of the most famous names around, and is also the focal point for the annual Blues and Jazz Festival. St George's Bristol hosts some of the world's leading classical musicians, but also a range of other performers from folk to modern Jazz.

The annual Slapstick Comedy Festival is a great start to the year of festivals in Bristol and Colston Hall often has big-name comedians performing throughout the year.

If you like the mystery of magic then an evening at a magic bar will leave you bemused and wanting more. Smoke and Mirrors is the only magic boutique bar in the UK and can be found in the heart of the West End and theatre district. See our magic page for more.

*Tom Morris is artistic director at Bristol Old Vic and director of War Horse.
