Ironmongers Hall – Self-guided Tour and Afternoon Tea
Ironmongers’ Hall, a Grade II-listed Livery hall opens publicly for the first time for self-guided tours in June 2026.
Friday 5th June
12:00 - 16:00
One of the City’s historic treasures, Ironmongers’ Hall celebrated its centenary in 2025. This Grade II-listed masterpiece stands as the only Livery hall built between the wars. From its richly carved woodwork and stained glass by Reginald Bell to the ironwork of Bainbridge Reynolds, every corner reflects exceptional craftsmanship.
We are opening our doors to foster a renewed sense of belonging—welcoming local residents and visitors to connect with the Hall and City. A time when belonging is under pressure, we aim to break down barriers, share our heritage, and create a space where community, history, and participation come together.
