About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

The splendid Company Hall is open to the public on Friday. And its free.

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.

Be the first to try out our free digital guide to the historic Hall and the centuries-long legacy of tailoring in the city.

Hosted on the Bloomberg Connects app, the guide brings to life the Merchant Taylors’ 600-year history through narrated tours, photos, videos, sound and a walking route linking key sites across York, including Fairfax House and the founding of York Theatre Royal. Visitors can explore remotely or while at the Hall, discovering stories of York’s craft, commerce, and creativity.

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.
