Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Squatters and outlaws, market maidens and ecstatic queers - Old Market’s always been a true spectacle. Now it has its own theatrical love letter, penned by treasured poet Dr Edson Burton and Bristol’s dearest eccentric performance artist Tom Marshman. "

Less of the 'old' thanks!

If a street could speak, perhaps that’s what Old Market would say. Vibrant, lively, curious yet still, Destination Old Market - A Theatrical Promenade looks back to Old Market's bustling past and its alternative punk & queer present.

Join us and a cast of characters as we take you on a whistle-stop tour through the lives and loves that make Bristol’s Old Market one of the most memorable streets in the city.

Written by Edson Burton & Tom Marshman
