More Than a Venue

A Historic Heart in the Centre of Oakham

Nestled in the heart of Oakham, Rutland, The Victoria Hall has been a cornerstone of community life for generations. Built with elegance and enduring charm, this beloved venue has hosted countless memories – from glittering balls and elegant weddings to energetic dance classes and local theatre productions.

The true gem of the Hall is its beautiful first-floor ballroom, bathed in natural light streaming through tall Victorian windows, including the signature arched window. In 2004, during major renovations supported by a grant, the 1950s ceiling was removed to reveal the original Victorian vaulted ceiling – a stunning feature still admired today.
