Tobacco Factory Theatre

Tobacco Factory Theatre is a performing arts venue housed in a converted factory building in Bedminster. The space features multiple performance areas and stages a varied program of drama, music, family shows and other theatrical forms.

The venue began life as a tobacco factory, which was transformed into a cultural space in the late 20th century. This conversion saved the industrial building from demolition and gave it a new purpose as an arts venue for the city.

The theatre serves as a meeting place where the community gathers to watch performances created by and for local voices. Performances here reflect the interests and experiences of people from the neighbourhood and beyond.

The venue is easily reached by public transport and has a ticket office at the entrance. The building is equipped with ramps and lifts to ensure access for visitors with mobility needs.

The venue is known for seasonal productions that adapt classic stories for modern audiences, blending traditional storytelling with contemporary stagecraft. These shows draw visitors who enjoy both the stories and the creative interpretations on display.
