2026 Festival Sponsor
The Olympus Theatre, Wise Campus, SGS College, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, BS34 8LP
is a 250-seat state-of-the-art theatre space at the Wise Campus of the South Gloucestershire and Stroud college in Stoke Gifford, Bristol. The Wise Campus is mixed Performing Arts and Sports campus
PARKING
The Olympus Theatre car park charges for parking. Pay and Display machines are on site charging approximately £1 per hour.
Please note, the car park is shared with the Wise Campus sports facilities and if a sporting event is on, parking
space can become very limited. It is likely to be especially busy on the Friday.
The Festival committee politely suggests that you give ample time to park prior to our prompt start times. Doors are open an hour beforehand and there is a bar and seating available in the theatre foyer area.
To help with parking, arrangements have been made for our audience to use the area immediately on the left as you turn in past the SGS College sign toward the college - see photos below. It is free of charge. There is then a short walk down the road to the College.
