Why Is This Area So Sought-after?
With a population of just over 4,500 people, the enchanting town of Uppingham was named “Best Place To Live” in the Midlands in 2022 by The Times. The newspaper concluded that Uppingham is a “discerning market town with art, heart and smarts – plus the magnificent Rutland Water.” We couldn’t agree more.
Surrounded by spectacular countryside, historically, the town revolved around the prestigious Uppingham School – a co-educational, award-winning independent school founded in 1548 and boasting many famous alumni including Stephen Fry. The school describes itself as a vibrant, stimulating and forward-looking school where pupils are challenged and inspired by their teachers. Contributing to educational success, top-rated primary & secondary state schools enjoy year-on-year accolades.
Local residents are keen to support the splendid weekly market which offers a range of well-supported stalls supplying residents with fresh produce, flowers, deli goods and much more. The historic market combines with Uppingham’s thriving High Street to contribute to the unique character of the town. Keeping the town’s interests very much at heart, the Uppingham Town Partnership is a not-for-profit community group dedicated to ensuring the town is a great place to live, work and play. Its volunteers organise annual events including live music festivals, a major Christmas celebration, film nights and regular clubs and events for children and young people.

A trip to the Friday market is often combined with coffee or lunch at one of the region’s traditional country inns, upmarket restaurants or cosy English tea rooms. Also worth a mention is the town’s growing reputation as an art hub. Uppingham has several independent and celebrated art galleries. The Goldmark Gallery has been selling art from their gallery for over forty years & host regular exhibitions by internationally renowned artists and ceramicists.
