The Holywell Music Room is the city of Oxford's chamber music hall, situated in Holywell Street in the city centre, is part of Wadham College.[1] It is said to be the oldest purpose-built music room in Europe, and hence Britain's first concert hall.[1]
It was built in 1748, designed by Dr Thomas Camplin, the vice-principal of St Edmund Hall.[1] Many musicians, including Haydn, have performed classical music here.[citation needed] The auditorium includes an organ and U-shaped raked seating.
The building was Grade II* listed in 1954.[2]
