Dating back over 800 years and originally a place for pilgrims to rest, this historic building has recently undergone a multi-million-pound restoration and is now an outstanding events and heritage venue for all to enjoy.

Explore the splendour of its beautiful rooms and discover the colourful past of this exceptional Grade-I listed building.

Enjoy a calendar of events. We organise and host a variety of events through the year including music, comedy and panto.

Hire the impressive rooms separately or all together – the magnificent Connaught Hall, the medieval Stone Hall, the more intimate Council Chamber – for private events, such as weddings and parties, or public events, such as performances and exhibitions.

Stay in the gloriously gothic Mayor’s Parlour, the Landmark Trust accommodation, and live the high Victorian dream.

All open rooms are subject to change depending on private bookings.
