From Wednesday 18th March 2020, the Merchant Adventurers' Hall and Merchants' Coffee House will temporarily close, in line with the latest advice from the Government and Public Health England. The Hall will remain closed until further notice.
A privileged opportunity to explore this stunning timber framed building - the inspirational home to The Company of Merchant Adventurers of the City of York.
Delve into York’s entrepreneurial past, present and future following stories of the “mystery of mercers” - business pioneers who made it happen: from the medieval wool trade, via the railways, chocolate and two universities to the 21st century Science City.
Redoubtable tales, fascinating architecture and intriguing, rare artefacts...hear about John Colwyck who earned 6 shillings for building the stunning oak roof...and the infamous Mary Tuke who dared to challenge the Company in the 18th Century. See the 14th century Evidence Chest which is older than the Hall...and delve into York's entrepreneurial history through the Hall's superb collection of portrait paintings of Merchants past and present.
Visitors to the Hall can enjoy a free audio tour included in the admission price and written guides in foreign languages are also available. Open to all, the Merchants' Coffee House by Café No.8 is open for food and drink in either the surroundings of the Hall or in the summer months, in our beautiful walled garden.
Accept Groups by prior booking.
Public toilets are for visitors use only.

Closed between Christmas and New Year
Last admission to the Hall is 30 minutes prior to the closing time.
