Victoria Historic Schoolhouse

Our Historic Schoolhouse, located at 730 Victoria Road and home to the offices of the Municipality and the Victoria Playhouse, was fully renovated and winterized in 2018.

The front room is a large and beautiful, sunlight-filled space with a smooth wood floor, containing displays curated by the Victoria Historical Association. The multi-functional space has hosted dance classes, meetings and conventions, training events, parties, theatre rehearsals, cultural events, weddings and more!

Venue rental includes:

  • The ‘front room’, with approximately 60.5’ x 25.5’ of space, 12 large windows with blinds, and two entrances, including a front door suitable for bridal-party entrances.

  • An historic (and in-tune!) piano

  • Tables and chairs, which you are free to arrange in any orientation you see fit. Rental groups are expected to set up the room themselves, and to return furniture to its storage stacks after the event. You can use:

    • 11 large circular tables (Seating 6-8)

    • 9 medium-sized square tables (Seating up to 4)

    • 4 folding lightweight trestle tables (Seating up to 8)
