Join us on a special guided tour of Halifax Town Hall, of immense architectural significance both inside and out. Voted one of the top ten Town Halls in the country (Architect Today 2008) and described as truly outstanding by Historic England.

Designed by Sir Charles Barry, architect of the Houses of Parliament, it was opened on 4 August 1863 by HRH The Prince of Wales. It was built to be the most grand and significant building in the town and stands today as a proud and permanent reminder of the affluence of Halifax in the Victorian era. The building never fails to impress visitors who travel from all over the country and world to see its splendours!
