The Barraclough Hall

A collection of photographs of the Barraclough Hall since its construction in 1946. Once a warehouse at the terminus of the Canal on Ashwell Road, later converted into stables, the Barraclough Hall was named in honour of Mrs Barraclough, benefactor to the school, and in memory of her late husband, Norman Barraclough (OO, 1883). At the west end was the stage and the theatre would seat about three hundred and fifty people. Other features included a traditional long hall, raked stage and Proscenium Arch. The opening ceremony took place on 20 June 1953.

The Queen Elizabeth Theatre (since 1984)

A collection of photographs of the QET since the transformation of the Barraclough Hall as part of the Quatercentenary Development Plan. The architect, W.O. Wilson, had designed a modern auditorium, with raked seating and a large stage below the audience, a gallery and a foyer facing the Music School lawn and purpose-built rooms for changing, costumes, scenery making and storage. It was equipped with a computerized lighting system and sophisticated sound equipment. The new Oakham Theatre was officially opened on 16 November 1984 by Queen Elizabeth II.
