Worcester’s premier live music and entertainment venue was at one time a thriving Methodist church. The Countess of Huntingdon's Hall was built as a chapel in 1773 by the very formidable Selina, Countess of Huntingdon. She was the Founder of the Calvinistic/Methodist group known as the Countess of Huntingdon' Connexion. The Chapel prospered until the second half of this century when congregations declined. The last service was held here in 1976.

Purchased by the city council in the late 1970s, the building was reopened in 1987 as a leading venue for folk music. In more recent times, Huntingdon has also hosted regular classical music concerts, jazz and blues gigs and spoken word events.
