Home to the Goldsmiths’ Company – one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies of the City of London – Goldsmiths’ Hall was designed by Philip Hardwick and opened with a grand banquet in July 1835. 

Over the last 189 years the Hall has seen 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 2025, we are 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, with all proceeds going to support the development of skills in our trade and craft through the 1327 fund.
