Wiltshire acts bidding for stardom have their chance to catch the eye of the judges this autumn, when Britain’s Got Talent comes to Bristol for the first time.

The audition round for the 2015 show, which as always offers the chance to appear at the Royal Variety Performance, is back on the road, scouring the length and breadth of the country with its biggest-ever open audition tour visiting 11 cities across the UK and Ireland.

The show will be heading to Bristol on Sunday, November 23, to uncover some of the best talent around, looking for wonderful, weird and astounding acts for next year’s series. Aspiring stars are invited to apply to audition between 11am-6pm at The Bristol Marriott Royal, College Green, Bristol.

This year’s winners, musical theatre boy band Collabro, who were crowned in front of an audience of 13 million viewers, have gone on to amazing success having secured a No 1 hit with their debut album Stars. The band will also be touring next year alongside fellow 2014 finalist Lucy Kay. Anyone looking to emulate the success of previous finalists should apply now for the open auditions.

Get through this round and you could face the judges auditions, in front of Simon Cowell et al and a live audience, early in 2015.

The show is open to any performer of any age, from any background, with any talent – all you need is a skill and star quality which you think will impress.

Anything goes, from comedians to contortionists, dancers to drag acts and acrobats to animals. Aspiring stars can apply at www.itv.com/talent
