You can explore the Trades Hall and hear about the history of the building at your own pace.
Grand Hall
The Grand Hall was originally designed by Adam in classical style to occupy the entire first floor. It has many unique features including the original Adam white marble fireplace, a seven metre dome bearing the coat of arms of each of the 14 Incorporated Trades, Spanish mahogany panels and spectacular windows which have been restored during the recent refurbishment as near as possible to their original design. The Grand Hall also has a magnificent, high-level, 64 metre frieze which was added in 1903 and features 161 different figures depicting the work of the Incorporated Trades.
