Hidden on the High Street - Behind the scenes at the Neeld and Town Hall

Delve into the secret corners of the Neeld and Town Hall to discover behind-the-scenes areas such as the tech booth, backstage and Mayor's Parlour.

Our free guided tour will tell you more about the fascinating history of our buildings and our namesake and benefactor, Joseph Neeld.

The Neeld has played several different roles in the heart of the Chippenham community, including a Cheese Market and a WW1 Hospital. Following a refurbishment project in 2015, The Neeld is a thriving Community and Arts Centre with an exciting programme of professional shows and local groups’ activities. The Town Hall was opened in 1834 and remains the civic heart of the town and the home of Chippenham Town Council.

Tours will take place at 1000am and 1200 (duration approx. 45 minutes). Each tour will have a maximum of 20 people so pre-booking is encouraged to avoid disappointment.

Children's colouring activity available. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Certain areas of this tour are only accessible by stairs.
