Manchester Town Hall

About

The Town Hall will close to the public from 15 January 2018.

Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. Regarded as one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the United Kingdom, it is one of the most important Grade One listed buildings in England.

The Town Hall celebrated its 140th birthday in 2017 and a major refurbishment project, Our Town Hall, is starting in January 2018. Although the Town Hall will be closed to the public during the refurbishment, the building can still be viewed from Albert Square.

The Our Town Hall project will secure the long-term future of the building for generations to come, by repairing and upgrading to modern safety and accessibility standards, including new lifts and welfare facilities. Detailed specialist survey work has been undertaken to assess the condition of the building and the scope of work necessary to safeguard it for current and future generations, and to ensure it can continue to play a key role at the heart of the city’s life.
