Rutland
DISCOVER
England’s most rural county….
In the heart of the East Midlands is a 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. In Rutland, good food is a passion and Rutlanders believe in fully supporting our local producers; pick up a copy
of Eat Drink Rutland for the best places to dine and shop for local food. 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 short break.

offers a RYA Sailing School and there are
specialist facilities for disabled sailors
and young people, so everyone can enjoy
the excitement of sailing.
One of the best views of Rutland is from

&TheArts
DISCOVER
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…
Art Galleries
There are many art galleries to
enjoy in the towns of Oakham
and Uppingham - some pieces are
worth many thousands of pounds.
There’s an active arts community
in Rutland who regularly hold a
rolling programme of exhibitions
in various locations around the
county, such as the Victoria Hall
in Oakham, so look out for these
during your stay.
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.
This amplifies the sound providing splendid acoustics, making it the perfect home
for Music in Lyddington, who provide fine music in a regular series of high quality
concerts for all to enjoy.
Historic Houses
There are many interesting
buildings in and around Rutland;
making it a great base for
exploring.
Belton House, Belvoir Castle,
Burghley House, Rockingham
Castle and Grimsthorpe Castle
are all within a short drive.
Peterborough Cathedral is just
30 minutes away. And why not
discover some of the beautiful
historic buildings in Rutland itself -
make sure you visit Oakham Castle
and Lyddington Bede House.
Tolethorpe Hall Open Air Theatre

In Rutland, good food is a real passion and the county is widely regarded for its range
of quality eateries. While you are here, you’ll savour the delights of some of the best
food in the region from some very talented chefs. Award winning restaurants are
plentiful; several are holders of one or more AA rosettes and all over the county
you are never more than a short hop from the next great place to eat. Many pubs
and restaurants go to great lengths to create wonderful seasonal dishes from
local ingredients; from pheasant and venison to the best local seasonal fruit and veg,
they go the extra mile in their quest to provide the very best food experience for
their customers. In fact, there are so many great places to eat, that a whole guide
devoted to Food and Drink has been created; See www.discover-rutland.co.uk for
date and details.
