The Victoria Hall

aboutSectionText

The Victoria Hall was built in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The Victoria Hall was then revamped in the mid-nineties, opening its doors once more in 1998 and has since then been at the heart of the Cultural Quarter, alongside its sister venue The Regent Theatre. The Victoria Hall has now established itself as one of the most popular venues on the touring circuit and has played host to an impressive array of famous faces, including Paul Weller, KT Tunstall, Joan Rivers, Jack Dee, Mitchell & Webb, Jimmy Carr, Russell Brand and Bloc Party, to name but a few. It consistently attracts the biggest names in music and comedy to Stoke-on-Trent, as well as an array of children’s shows, music tributes and dance.

Could do better

The venue itself is fully accessible but the experience we had was not as streamlined as it could be. To get to our seats meant navigating heavy double doors which were impossible to open whilst pushing a wheel chair and no offer of assistance. The space on the ground floor was very tight where we had to move the wheelchair in and out every time someone wanted to get on/out surrounding areas. If there’s a group of you it’s more than manageable but not so good if you only have one carer!
