Leicester Guildhall Free Guided Tours – January 2026.
Leicester Guildhall, Guildhall Lane, Leicester LE1 5FQ
Starting with its Great Hall built in about 1390, a tour of Leicester Guildhall will take you through the centuries and many uses of the site. From its first role as a meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi, to a public performance space where even Shakespeare may have acted, to the home of one of the oldest public libraries, the town hall and even a police station.
After restoration, the Guildhall was opened to the public as a museum in 1926.
Leicester is privileged to have one of the best-preserved timber framed halls in the country dating back 600 years. This is your opportunity to come and find out more regarding this unique and beautiful building with a free guided tour.
