Rutland England’s most rural county…. In the heart of the East Midlands is a small county, largely unspoilt by the modern era; a place where sleepy villages nestle amongst rolling hills and where you can still enjoy traditional village fetes in summer complete with cake competitions, maypole dancing and Morris Men. Rutland has much more to share with you than an array of picturesque village; the fantastic Rutland Water offers both energetic and relaxing pastimes, and Rutland’s two attractive market towns are packed with independent retailers providing a unique shopping experience. Food is a strong passion in Rutland , thanks to the county’s proud heritage of farming and agricultural. There is a strong tradition of supporting local producers which creates an excellent selection of quality food and drink in the county. The local pub is still an important feature of village life, which means you are never far away from a great place to eat. Rutlanders rejoiced when independence was granted from Leicestershire in 1997; and they’ll proudly share this slice of English idyll with you on your next visit.

Rutland Water Set in 4200 acres of open countryside, it was created in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to meet an ever increasing demand for water and is as spectacular in beauty as it is in size. With the variety of activities available, it offers year round appeal for fishermen, cyclists, sailors and bird watchers.

Oakham Butter Cross

The county town of Rutland, full of history and ideal for stylish shopping. Just minutes from Rutland Water, this small but perfectly formed market town is a hive of activity and there’s a whole host of things to see and do here. If you like to shop, you will love the boutiques, art galleries, antiques and the range of deli’s stocking local food and drink. If you like history, follow the Oakham Heritage Trail and discover the hidden gems around town. Or, if you’re in need of a relaxing beverage, Oakham has many cafes for a spot of afternoon tea, plus the town has its very own brewery if you fancy something stronger.

Oakham Castle

County Museum

Hidden in the middle of the town is the picturesque Oakham Castle, one of the best examples of domestic Norman architecture in England. The 12th century building is more of a Great Hall than a castle and you can discover the intriguing tradition involving horseshoes and royalty here. 2015 sees the start of a big restoration project, which means the castle will be closed for a while, but it will be worth a visit once it reopens.

A great introduction to the area’s history and also acts as a Visitor Centre, fully stocked with information to help make the most of your visit. The museum displays tell the story of the county, and are complimented by exhibits of archaeology, history and rural life.

Renowned for its excellent range of antiques stores, fine art galleries and book shops, visitors are attracted here from far and wide. Uppingham has a character all of its own and those who live in the town are justifiably proud of it. It offers a traditional shopping experience long since lost in larger towns; many of the local shops are still family run and provide a high level of personal service. The majority of Uppinghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shops can be found on High Street and Market Place but there are lots of other unique retailers hidden away along ancient alleyways which are worth seeking out. This attractive town has an intriguing history and you can follow the Uppingham Heritage Trail to discover some of the fascinating features.

The only event of its kind in the UK, where Rutland farmers proudly show off the best of their stock in The Market Place. This festive tradition has now been running for over 100 years and is a fascinating and traditional spectacle for visitors.

Christmas events in the town include a vintage fun fair, late night shopping, craft and gift stalls for those special handmade gifts and of course an appearance from Father Christmas.

Stamford Widely regarded as one of the finest stone towns in England, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely something special about Stamford 20

Stamford Shopping is a real pleasure in Stamford; narrow alleyways and hidden courtyards are home to specialty shops, fine jewellers and designer boutiques while the High Street has a great selection to tempt you. When it’s time to eat, you’ll be spoilt for choice as the town has a reputation for good food. Choose from traditional inns serving home cooked fayre to contemporary restaurants or head to a small cosy café and watch the world go by over the rim of your tea cup. 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. There’s a huge range of attractions in and around Stamford, start with Stamford Arts Centre, home to the Tourist Information Centre as well as theatre/cinema, assembly room and café. While you’re here, don’t miss a visit to the majestic Burghley House; you’ll recognise this much admired Elizabethan stately home from films including The Da Vinci Code and Pride and Prejudice. Burghley is also home to the world famous Horse Trials which take place every September.

Theatre, Heritage & The Arts

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… Tolethorpe Hall Open Air Theatre

Uppingham Theatre

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 in an open-air setting, with all the comfort of an indoor theatre. It is worth arriving in good time to enjoy a picnic on the lawn or meal in one of the elegant restaurants, 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 2015 are Henry V, Romeo & Juliet and Tom Jones, based on the novel by Henry Fielding. 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 and renowned comedy acts, to top class symphony orchestras and amazing jazz performances, its events diary is packed all year round.
