Founded in 1857, the Britannia quickly became the most popular place of amusement and entertainment in the city, with 1,500 people cramming themselves onto the wooden benches for every show. Today, the auditorium is the world's oldest surviving music hall and holds regular viewings, exhibitions, bazaars and traditional music shows.
