the concert hall at victoria hall

This is a heritage building that has been kept in top condition with no expense spared. Downstairs, you can see an original courtroom as it looked in the late 1800's. Upstairs, the Concert Hall is a confection of trompe l'oeile painting and a wonderful painted ceiling. Acoustics aren't great, the seating is a little cramped, but the building is worth the price of admission.

This is a place to visit just for the history and architecture. Weddings are held here and the original Baileys Court has been retained

Set amidst the wonderful Victoria Hall full of exciting architecture and local history. Great to watch live plays with fabulous local talent.

Nicely restored, beautiful flowers in the summer, handy clean public washrooms. The Old Bailey Courtroom is an interesting stop and the large foyer is a good place to cool off in the summer and warm up in the winter when visiting downtown Cobourg. There is an art gallery upstairs. Small theatre and music productions throughout the year.

Still used as city hall, but restored and well-maintained. Even when it's not in use you can get a tour, either one arranged in advance or, if things are slow, conducted by one of the staff. Just ask at the entrance desk. Don't miss the court room which is a copy of an Old Bailey (London UK central criminal courts) courtroom circa 1840 or so. still used for weddings and TV/films etc. Spectacular rooms upstairs. To think the whole thing was almost torn down...

It is rare that you will travel in Ontario and find such a stunning building in a smaller town. Victoria Hall is a beautiful architectural gem that is worth an extended gaze. The facade is beautiful and the concert hall on the second floor is really impressive. I didn't have a chance to attend a performance but could just imagine myself. The painted walls and ceiling give you the impression of being in a grander hall that this majestic hall already is. If you have an extra five minutes while you are at Victoria Hall, sneak a peek at the art gallery on the third floor. There is a very small collection and I think it varies a bit. There isn't any classical paintings but worth a quick look.

the Concert Hall is really old but has been restored, the paintings on the ceiling and the wood detail on the walls is really worth the visit even if you can not see a production you should stop by to check out this room and the courtroom downstairs, it was used in the movie butter box babies. It is an exact replica of the old baily courthouse in England.

The Concert Hall at Victoria Hall is a very interesting place, full of history, we watched A Christmas Carol which was an excellent production from the local Amateur Company, there is also the old court room there.

The Victorian Operatic Society never disappoints. The music and dancing were awesome! Who needs to go to Toronto when we've got such great theatre in our own back yard?

This is an attractive old building. I think (although I could be wrong) that it was originally intended to be a city government building, but now it's used as a theatre. Not only do they have plays there in the summer, but you can also get a tour. Very interesting place and right on the main street so there are restaurants and shops in the area and it's very close to the gorgeous beach with white sand, the lovely water of Lake Ontario, playground for the children and a snack bar.

The Victoria Hall is classic, elegant, and acoustically pleasing. I have attended several concerts, dinners, and events there and it is a most pleasant experience. After you get settled in you feel like you are taking your place and sharing a privileged experience with people in previous generations who enjoyed a similar moment in time. Well worth the experience.

Только ради этого красивого здания стоит посетить город. Удивительная величественная архитектура для этих мест.
