NEWS Catch up on the latest from around the county BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE Standing proud in Sheffield’s industrial quarter of Neepsend, Victoria is enjoying a new lease of life that’s been four years in the making. An ancient site for flower gardens and fruit orchards, a world war survivor, a home for a circus, a derelict redbrick and an 1884 chapel, the venue, known as the ultimate reuse project, continues the founders’ love affair with restoration, saving it from dereliction. Here to inspire, Victoria’s premium 500 capacity over multiple rooms offers infinite possibilities. Upstairs in The Chapel is the main event – an exquisite redbrick feasting hall complete with the original altar clad in reclaimed mirror for dreamy ceremonies together with a stunning Juliette balcony opposite. Above the purpose-built in-house kitchen sits The Lodge, a beautifully tranquil architectural space externally clad in charred Scots pine and set for pre-ceremony interviews, quiet moments and photographs. The Courtyard meanwhile, is a luxuriously large, private open space wrapping the front of the building, the perfect place to marry and dine al fresco.
