Home to the Goldsmiths’ Company – one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies of the City of London – the third (and final!) Goldsmiths’ Hall was designed by Philip Hardwick and opened with a grand banquet in July 1835.
Over the last 190 years our Hall has played host to many splendid celebrations, fantastic dinners, informative lectures, spectacular exhibitions, fabulous fairs, exhilarating film shoots and an untold number of very important visitors, including actors, celebrities, politicians, members of the Royal Family, and now you!
In 2026, we are throwing open the doors of Goldsmiths’ Hall for four days of guided tours. Giving you the chance to experience the palatial grandeur of our grade one listed building on a 60-minute guided tour of its principal rooms with our Librarians and Archivists, and to see some of the treasures from our collection under the guidance of our Curators. A rare opportunity to step inside one of the City of London’s hidden treasures that is not regularly open to the public, on a site that has been home to the Goldsmiths’ Company for seven centuries!
Tickets are priced at £10 per person and limited to two per booking.
Proceeds will go towards ensuring more young people across the UK have free access to vital creative education, though Goldsmiths’ Giving, a charitable partnership between the Goldsmiths’ Company and the National Saturday Club.
Bookings will open for our November tours on Tuesday 29 September – Please sign up to our free newsletter to be notified when tickets go on sale.
