Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Thunder Run Experience
Ever wondered how eighteenth-century sound technicians conjured thunder above the heads of our very first audiences?
Witness the running of the oldest Thunder Run in the country as – just as they did 250 years ago – our technicians unleash the roar of thunder throughout the auditorium. A unique experience for theatre fanatics and thrill-seekers alike.
A socially distanced experience, our Theatre Tours are designed for small groups or 'bubbles'. In line with the current guidance, we can accommodate a group of up to 6 people from any number of households for each tour.
Spaces regularly included on The Thunder Run Experience:
The new Bristol Old Vic foyer
The Georgian Auditorium and Stage
The original theatre roof space and Thunder Run
Plus hear the Thunder Run in action!
Additional Info
You must book your tour at least 72 hours beforehand.
Comfortable shoes are advised.
All of our tours have a step-free route for people with access needs. Please advise us at the time of booking if you'd prefer this option by calling 0117 987 7877 or emailing tickets@bristololdvic.org.uk
As a working theatre with ongoing rehearsals and other technical work, there are certain times when parts of the building will be inaccessible. We always endeavour to provide a true behind-the-scenes experience, but it may be necessary for tours to be rescheduled in rare circumstances.
Please advise your tour guide if you are uncomfortable with heights.
