If you have any drag queen lovers in your home, the RuPaul's Drag Race UK Tour will stop off at the hippodrome - Yes Mama! There's an action-packed family show for everyone! 

Looking for something that will leave you and audience in stitches? Bristol Hippodrome showcases comedy shows as well as well theatre! Boom and shake the room with deep belly laughs in Alan Carr - Regional Trinket. Roar for Russell Kane and his eccentric comedy in his show, The Essex Variant. Squirm at the dry and witty dark humour of Jack Dee or Frankie Boyle ! It's time you parents had a good laugh and some rest bite from the kids. If you have any older teenagers, bring them along and introduce them to the comedy circuit! 

Seating Options

Choose from a wide variety of seating options and relax! If you wanna get up close to the action on stage, the stage level seating in the stalls section is a great option. Does you little one want to sit at a distance so they can soak up the whole theatre? Take a seat in upper circle or grand circle, it's the best audience seating with a higher view of the performance. 

It's worth noting that the Upper Circle and the grand circle are not suitable for those with limited mobility. However, the stalls are wheelchair friendly. Wheelchair users and those with limited ability can access the theatre via the Denmark Street entrance. Visitors can choose from range of seating areas from four fixed wheelchair positions in Row M. There are also two end seats of rows F-L and P-W and boxes G and H if you wish to transfer your seats. 

Food & Drin

Families can order drinks and snacks from the bar. Treat your little ones to some ice cream or treat mum to a glass of wine (we're looking at you, dad). Ordering is easy with no need to queue! Simply order from the In-Seat Ordering app and theatre staff will deliver your beverages to your seat - it's just like table service. Both bars & kiosks are now cash-free so make sure you have your card, apple pay or google pay at the ready! 

Parents and adult children can enjoy a range of bar spaces, we recommend booking a table at the champagne bar - when in Rome, right? 

Planning a family birthday? Why not treat your loved one to a theatre trip with a seat in the exclusive VIP Lounge. Receive a bespoke service with a bottle of bubbly, luxury chocolates and the house programme. Oof, that sounds good!
