Guided tour of Chester Town Hall's Victorian interiors, with murals, stained glass and carvings, led by a guide from Chester Visitor Information Centre.
A Town Hall Promenade is a guided tour of Chester Town Hall, running on various dates from Friday 13 November through to Tuesday 22 December. It's run in association with the Chester Visitor Information Centre, and the whole thing is built around the building's interiors.
Chester Town Hall is a Grade II listed building designed by William Henry Lynn of Belfast and opened in 1869. It still serves as the base for the City's Lord Mayor and for civic functions, so it's a working building rather than a museum. The tour takes you through the rooms where murals, oil paintings, stained glass windows and intricate carvings line the walls, and the guide works with the Visitor Information Centre to pull out the stories behind them as you go. There's also a chance to spot a Victorian character or two along the way.
Beyond the tours, the hall is available to hire for community, charity and private events, so it's a space that still sees plenty of use.
