Free Open Day at York's Merchant Taylors Hall, a medieval gem

The splendid Company Hall is open to the public on Tuesday 6th May, a rare chance to see inside this building.

Take time to learn about the life-stories of tailors past. Enjoy a colouring activity for children. Watch spinners and weavers as they work and learn more about their craft. Refreshments will be available at our "pop up" cafe.

Explore this amazing building, a hidden gem in the heart of the City of York. It was built in the fifteenth century and has been beautifully preserved. An ancient oak roof covers the main Hall and the small Hall. You can view unique stained glass, pictures and architecture.

You can also find out about the Company and its traditions and tailors of the past.

If you are planning a wedding or other celebration, come and have a look and see if the Hall could be the right place for your event.
