600-years of secrets … 45 minutes to hear them all

Step into the shadows of Leicester’s 600-year-old masterpiece and discover a history they didn't write in the official guidebooks.

Built in 1390 as the meeting place for the secretive Guild of Corpus Christi, this stunning timber-framed hall has stood as a silent witness to six centuries of power, deception, and human drama.

From its days as a medieval stronghold to its time as one of the country's oldest public libraries and the historic Town Hall, these walls have trapped generations of untold stories.

It is well known that Shakespeare’s players performed in the majestic Great Hall during the Tudor era—but what off-stage drama and whispered conspiracies followed them?

When the Guildhall opened its doors to the public as a museum in 1926, the history books were polished, but the building's deepest mysteries remained locked away in the ancient woodwork.

This is your exclusive invitation to look past the beautiful architecture.

Our specialized guided tour will take you through 600 years of hidden history, peeling back the layers of Leicester's best-preserved medieval gem to reveal the private tension, historic rivalries, and quiet scandals that shaped the city.

The official history only tells half the story.
