This building is like walking back in time. It's just so OLD! Nothing is in a straight line and the beams are beautiful. My friend got married here and it was a beautiful location. My little one regularly goes to the activity days they put on. Usually a craft and a run round. The old hall is amazing at Christmas... More

Only takes a few minutes to look around. Not much there but very interesting to see this ancient and fascinating building. Combine your visit with other nearby places. More

Leicester Guildhall is a beautiful old building and worth visiting if you want to find out a bit about historic Leicester. The information panels on the walls give explanations of the kinds of activities that took place in the different rooms (e.g. the main hall was at one point used for giving cookery lessons to girls from poor families!).

Although I'm a Leicester resident, I've only visited the Guildhall twice. This is partly because there isn't that much to see. Four or five room with information and some dungeons with a pretend prisoner is about all it has. There's a small shop, and the Main Hall is often the venue for concerts.
