mayfest – adventurous theatre for playful people

Mayfest is Bristol's unique annual festival of contemporary theatre. We are dedicated to presenting a broad range of unusual, playful and ambitious work from leading theatre makers from Bristol, the UK and beyond. Mayfest is produced in collaboration with Bristol Old Vic and works in partnership with other key arts venues across Bristol to present work in both established theatre spaces and non-theatre spaces all over the city.

"A mix of work so tasty it makes you want to up sticks and move to Bristol permanently" The Guardian on Mayfest 2009
