Discover the history of this beautiful building

Great Yarmouth Town HallOpen
Sat 11 - Sun 12 Sep10am-4pm (last entry 3.30pm)

A showcase of the history of the building with guided tours, plus vendors of typical local food offerings, fun activities, a quiz trail and colouring competition for all the family to enjoy!

Throughout the weekend, we aim to not only share the rich history and heritage of the Town Hall Building with visitors but also to embrace this year’s theme of Edible England.

Visitors will be welcomed into the building after an invitation to sample the wares of outside street vendors offering a variety of typical food associated with our seaside town. On entering the magnificent Foyer guests will be able to collect a Town Hall Trail booklet and, armed with this, can either take themselves around the building or book on one of the guided tours.

Visitors will be encouraged to participate in a fun quiz trail as they navigate through each area of the Town Hall collecting answers to clues. Completed quiz trails can be handed in and exchanged for a sticker/badge for child participants.

Heading up to the first floor, guests can experience a trip back in time to see the Supper Room laid up in all its former glory complete with the original table and silverware on show. Next door in the splendid Assembly Room with its vaulted ceiling and oversized picture windows visitors can sample a taste of how the room looks when it’s set up for a wedding or private function.
