The Empire Theatre was opened as part of the regeneration of the Old Market area which is a conservation area of national significance and contains many historic buildings. Exciting changes are currently afoot on Old Market, and it is fast becoming Bristol’s bohemian quarter. Teams of artists are taking up residence and quirky vintage stores springing up amongst the multicultural shops, gay bars and music venues. The Empire plays tribute to a very notable theatre of the same name which previously existed on Old Market.
