Huntingdon Hall is a Grade II* listed theatre and concert venue located in Worcester, England.
It was built in 1773 and opened on the 31st of October of that year as the Countess of Huntingdon's Church by her first cousin Walter Shirley. Selina Hastings, the Countess of Huntingdon, described the building as 'exceedingly handsome' in a letter to her friend John Hawksworth.
In his book Worcestershire, Nikolaus Pevsner describes Huntingdon Hall as "an odd plan... a three-bay chapel with a hipped roof and behind it, transversely, a large oblong part apsed at both ends."
