Location & Access

The Gateway to the South West England

Only an hour and a half train journey from London and Birmingham, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School is located in Bristol, the gateway to the South West of England. 

The city is well placed for easy access to some of the most beautiful countryside in England, with Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall and Devon only a short distance away and enjoying good transport links.

Bristol is easy to reach by train from all cities in the UK and by road, being serviced by both the M4 and M5 motorways. It also has an international airport.

The main Bristol Old Vic Theatre School premises at 1-3 Downside Road are accessible to wheelchair users and we have considerable experience of working with and adapting our programmes to students with a wide range of impairments and we welcome applications from disabled students.
