The Victoria Hall, a cherished Oakham landmark, is turning 125 years old!  To celebrate this momentous occasion, they're throwing a delightful Vintage Tea Party on September 21st, but they also need your help to keep their doors open for another 125 years (and beyond)!

Rising costs threaten the future of this historic venue.  To address this challenge, the Victoria Hall has launched a fundraising appeal with a goal of £50,000.  These funds will go towards crucial maintenance, improvements, and new amenities.

Donate: Every contribution, big or small, is appreciated. Visit the GoFundMe page: www.gofundme.com/support-the-victoria-hall
