My Bristol Favourites: Charlotte Geeves
Charlotte Geeves is executive director of Bristol Old Vic, having been in the role for almost two years.
Since its closure during the peak of the pandemic, Charlotte and the Bristol Old Vic team have been working incredibly hard on its big re-opening, including the recent announcement of the theatre’s autumn/winter season for 2021/22, plus the launch of its new restaurant in Coopers’ Hall.
These are Charlotte’s top-five Bristol favourites:

“Particularly Woky Ko and the amazing food offering there. I was there just recently and love the relaxed vibe and table ordering through an app.”

“Small Bar on King Street is so close to us at Bristol Old Vic and we love just Left Handed Giant beers! Not only that, I also love the unconscious style and feel of the bar.”
Leigh Woods

“Walking became a huge part of our life during the pandemic and lockdowns and Leigh Woods gave myself and my family something different to explore when there was not a huge amount of choice.”
We the Curious
