Victoria Rooms

Excellent venue for concerts but a little faded now. Great Victorian architecture. Parking nearby best attempted a day or two before any event you are visiting or ride your bike.

Beautiful architecture, when I was a student in Uni I knew there were free concerts every week, usually performed by music school students / teachers.

It was very interesting and my kids where occupied doing fun stuff. "Can we go back here again with all of my friends? They will love this place, just as much as me." My 9 year old daughter said.

Wonderful classical Greek revivalist portico..opened in 1842 to celebrate Queen Victoria...it was built as a venue, and exhibition centre, but rather lost its way. its now Bristol Universities music department.. and a venue for concerts, so its future is more secure. The great bronze statue of Edward the seventh was added in 1912, as were the swirling, art nouveau fountains...its a magnificent building

The location is great. The building is very beautiful from the outside, inside it has typical university classrooms and lecture hall. The statue with the fountain in front is remarkable and attract lots of people. The entrance door is heavy and not easy to open.
I was surprised to find reception staff to be not very welcoming.

Wonderful building, and Bristol University Music Society put on a fantastic Symphonic Winds Concerts. Especially the Flute and Euphonium players 😁

I remember the Vic Rooms from when I did exams there fifty years ago as a student. I went there this time for the Banff film festival, which was excellent. Comfortable seats, clean loos; very good.

My NHS Test & Trace app isolated me for 5 days. So came here for a covid test, other than the lateral tests that I do twice a week already So 24-48 hours for results.
Very helpful staff, did my test right away, so no need to book in advance today. Meanwhile another 5 days of furloughing.
