Designed by Bristol architect Charles Dyer (noted for his classical and Gothic designs), the Victoria Rooms were built in the first half of the 19th century in the Greek Revival style - one of its most notable features is its octostyle (eight columned) Corinthian portico. The building has belonged to the University of Bristol since the 1920s and now houses the Music Department. As such, there is no entry, except during the concerts and in any case, the building is much more imposing from the outside. Lunchtime concerts are held throughout the year and there are classical concerts also. Tickets are available from the building itself (ask at the Porter's Lodge) or from the university bookshop on nearby Tyndall's Avenue.
