Victoria Hall

Victoria Hall is a landmark concert and event venue in the Cultural Quarter of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. Originally built in 1888 to mark Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, the venue combines distinctive historic character with the facilities and operational support expected from a contemporary event location.

The main hall is suitable for large-scale occasions, with capacity for up to 1,300 seated guests or 1,700 standing guests. This makes it an option for substantial receptions, showcases, celebrations, presentations, entertainment-led company events and other occasions requiring an impressive central setting. The venue’s stage, auditorium and audience areas are particularly well suited to live performances, talks, comedy, concerts, award presentations and branded events.

For more intimate gatherings, Victoria Hall also offers 1888, a stylish VIP bar and lounge with capacity for up to 50 people. This space can be used for corporate hospitality, private receptions, networking, client entertainment and exclusive pre- or post-event experiences. The combination of the main venue and smaller hospitality space allows organisers to build a more complete event programme, from arrival drinks and networking through to a headline performance or presentation.

The venue is operated as part of the ATG Entertainment network and has an established programme of touring music, comedy and entertainment. Event organisers can enquire about venue and room hire for showcases, celebration events, team activities, corporate hospitality and private functions. Its city-centre location is close to the bus station, accessible from the M6 and A50, and within easy reach of Stoke-on-Trent railway station. Victoria Hall therefore offers a memorable, centrally located setting for organisers seeking a distinctive concert hall with flexible event potential.
