Stamford really bustles with life, especially on market day [Friday] when the pavements are packed; eager shoppers flock here in droves to stock up on delicious local veg, locally reared meats and fresh fish; the buzz around the town is quite intoxicating. However, if peace and quiet is more appealing then tranquillity is guaranteed on the banks of the River Welland which winds its way through Stamford enroute to The Wash; take a seat here for a while and admire the birds and wildlife which bring colour and life to this beautiful river they call home.

Theatre, Heritage & The Arts

Tolethorpe Hall Open Air Theatre

The arts are thriving in Rutland; whenever you come to visit there will be something going on – whether you prefer fine art, live music, Shakespeare or comedy, you’ll find it all here…

Theatres Rutland offers a choice of indoor and outdoor theatres! The widely renowned Tolethorpe Hall, home of the much loved Stamford Shakespeare Company, offers magical performances of Shakespearean classics and family favourites in an open-air setting, with all the comfort of an indoor theatre. The magic of Tolethorpe begins when you enter the grounds, whether you enjoy a picnic on the lawn or meal in one of the elegant restaurants, it is worth arriving in good time to soak in the atmosphere, before being seated beneath an all-weather canopy to enjoy an enchanting performance on a woodland stage. The three plays for 2014 are As You Like It, The Taming of the Shrew and Alice in Wonderland & Through the looking Glass. Or if you prefer a more traditional theatre experience head to Uppingham Theatre, which has built an enviable reputation for the quality of its live entertainment. From West End shows to top class symphony orchestras and amazing jazz performances, its events diary is packed all year round. Did you know: The chancel of St Andrews Church in Lyddington, was built with acoustic pots placed in recesses near the tops of the walls in the early 14th century.
