The new foyer areas will offer much more than a pre-concert space,providing new performance areas, rehearsal rooms and educationfacilities, as well as a new box office, café bar, and improveddisabled access.

Colston Hall has been a concert venue since 1867 and has been designated a grade II listed building. The new foyer building is the first part of a three-phase project which will also see the restoration of the High Victorian Lesser Hall building and the expansion and improvement of backstage areas.

The stylish glass-fronted new foyer development has an independent architectural identity to the existing building, effectively adding a new and vibrant atmosphere to the historic venue. It also seamlessly integrates the new foyer to the existing building and auditorium by a series of bridges, while its new performance spaces offer visitors a more informal experience of seeing live performances at the venue.

To mark the opening of the new foyer in September, Colston Hall is celebrating with a diverse range of events for ten days. To see what's on at the Colston Hall, click here.
