Event description

Halifax Town Hall, Crossley Street, Halifax, HX1 1UJ £7.50

Join Halifax Heritage Tours on their special guided tour of the magnificent Halifax Town Hall, a building of immense architectural significance both inside and out. So much so, it was voted one of the top ten Town Halls in the country in 2008 by Architect Today magazine and has been 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!

Tours start/end outside the Town Hall entrance. HHT ask that you please let them know when you have booked if you require lift/wheelchair access to different floors, so that this can be arranged in advance.

NB: Any children under 18 booked on the tour must be accompanied by an adult with a ticket for the event and will remain the responsibility of that parent or guardian at all times

You will find the full programme festival here.
