John Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 The title says it all really. Was it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffman Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Not been on the official tour, but my job has taken me into the bowels of the place, it's nice in places but it reminds me of an old swimming pool building in most of the places as its full of green and blue tiles plus it smells a bit clinical.

robh Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 If I recall correctly, the highlight of the tour is a model of the town hall made of matchsticks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I found this in a newsletter type thing that i have. Tours of the civic rooms of the town hall are given by Nicky Barut. You can contact her on 0114 2039092 or mail her on nicky.barut@sheffield.gov.uk Hope this of use. Let us know if you go and what it is like.

FairyNormal Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I went once with my kids as we were in town, they were bored, saw the sign and begged to go in! It's ok I guess. Not super exciting or anything but if you have an eye for detail some of the rooms and ceilings are pretty fantastic. One room is full of pictures of all the Lord Mayors from way back. Some are pretty scary looking I can tell you!! Worth a look round I'd say and double worth it as it's free!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killian Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 went for a walk down Surrey Street and then all the way round back into Pinstone Street, if that counts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick2 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
