About The Victoria
The Victoria — 'The Vic' — at 88 Victoria Road is one of Swindon's best-loved grassroots music pubs, less than a mile from Swindon station. The gig space sits a few steps down from and separate to the main bar, with its own bar, a small stage and room for roughly 150–200. The booking policy leans into punk gigs, indie rock and tribute acts, but the room also hosts open mic, comedy, club nights, burlesque and occasional film screenings. A proper independent venue that books originals and covers alike; gigs@thevicswindon.com handles bookings.
