Our Town Hall
The Town Hall closed in January 2018 so that work could begin on the Our Town Hall Project.
At the very heart of the city, Manchester’s Grade 1 listed Town Hall is a much-loved landmark. It's where we gather at important times to honour and celebrate, to welcome visitors and to do business. It’s where we host civic guests, international delegations, Mancunian weddings and special events. It’s where we celebrate those who’ve been awarded the Freedom of the City.
But – having opened in 1877– the building was showing its age. A major update was planned to this architectural masterpiece, to protect and improve it for Manchester and the nation, and lovingly restore it. See the Project Introduction page for more background, including our original film.

It’s been a little while since our last update film, so we’re delighted to say that we have a new one.
You can watch the film online as part of the Our Town Hall Project playlist on You Tube.
With plenty of footage from inside the building, and interviews with some key people on site, it’s another fascinating insight to life behind the scaffolding.
