Built over 650 years ago, explore the Hall and its many uses; the Great Hall for business and feasting; the Undercroft for charity; and the Chapel for religious worship. See collections of furniture, silver and art, listen to an audio tour or try interactive computer exhibits. The Hall is surrounded by a beautiful walled Garden bordered by the River Foss, which all are welcome to enjoy. The Hall is accessible to all from Fossgate.
As well as being a museum, the Hall is available for private hire for weddings, conferences and other events. If you are thinking of having your special event at the Hall, we do have select Saturdays in 2010, please click here for availability.
We are very pleased to announce that the Merchant Adventurers' Hall has been officially 'Accredited' by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA)!
The MLA's Museum Accreditation Scheme sets nationally agreed standards for all museums in the UK. The Hall's award proves that it measures up, meeting the guidelines on how it is run, how it looks after its collections and the service it provides to visitors.
