The Wardrobe Theatre
Independent theatre venue now part of the Old Market Assembly.
For five years, The Wardrobe was a little-known, miniature theatre above The White Bear pub in St Michael's Hill.

Sharing the building with the Old Market Assembly (from the team behind The Canteen), the Wardrobe Theatre are part of a new movement in the formerly neglected part of Bristol.
