When it opened in 1748, this was considered to be Europe's finest concert hall. Built to provide a permanent home for the performance of concerts (which were previously given in college halls), it has a seating capacity of 250 and is thought to be the oldest functioning music room in the world. It is known primarily as a classical music venue but you can also hear excellent jazz and folk here - so it' s always worth checking out what's on.
