John Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 Originally posted by nick2 Sorry to exume an old thread, but I did search before I started a new one. I went on the town hall tour on Friday, it was fairly interesting, it was the first time I've been inside. We saw the grand staircase, the council anti-room, the council chamber, the banqueting hall and the lord mayors office. It's free and fills an hour if you've got nothing to do. We wern't allowed to go up the clock tower though I really did want to go on tour around that time but never got to go myself in the end. Added to the growing list of things to do!

pete_fcs Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 yes i went in 2002. it was great, especially those pictures of ex-mayors all over the walls of one room. they all look like characters from a dickens novel. good view from the room behind the balcony (opposite somerfield). so if you're into massive chandeliers and stuff (and let's face it who isn't), and you've got an anorak, go there!

Alastair Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just got round to doing this today. It's interesting to see the inside of the building and well worth the 0p admission charge It happens at 2pm every day in summer, last tour this year is the last working day of August. It takes an hour and it's well worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Does anyone please know if these are on this year?? And if so are the arrangements the same? 2pm everyday? Sorry just realised that if i went back up through the thread there was an email address that I put on. Doh Have mailed in the hope it is still the same person and she hasn't been made redundant. Will see what happens now. Edited August 16, 2009 by fuzzy Being crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacelily Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I went on a tour of the town hall - it was good, really interesting to see the differet rooms although I can remember the guide raving about the matchstick model and me thinking 'you need to get a life!'
