The Merchant Adventurers' Hall

Discover one of the finest medieval guild halls in the world

Open Sunday to Friday, 10.00am to 4.00pm. Closed on Saturdays.

A historic guild. A living Hall. A place for enterprise, community and celebration – at the heart of York since 1357. The Merchant Adventurers’ Hall is more than a historic building—it is part of York’s identity.

Established over 660 years ago and carefully looked after by the York Merchant Adventurers Company, this Grade I listed landmark remains a vibrant hub for learning, enterprise, and community life. Today, it continues to welcome visitors, bring members together, and host events in one of the UK’s most remarkable settings.
