Such an impressive building both inside and out. Superlative stained glass windows and organ. The exhibition explaining the history of the Plantation is exceptional. John Hume’s Nobel Peace Prize is on display upstairs along with some information about the John & Pat Hume Foundation. Highly recommended

We had our humanist wedding ceremony within the Whittaker Hall at the Guildhall. I highly recommend anyone considering getting married here, not only because of the history and beauty of the building and location, but because of the staff, both leading up to and on the day. From my initial inquiry to every question I had throughout the planning, every staff member I talked to, via phone and email, were so helpful and informative. On the actual day of our wedding the staff were fantastic, from guiding me as the bride where to wait, the timing of my entry etc, to guiding us and our photographers around for the best photos throughout the building on the day - they couldn't have been more helpful. We also had a drinks reception in the same room and again, it was so efficient and well staffed. We chose the Whittaker room due to our small ceremony size but if we were having a larger party, the main hall looked incredible where they let us also have photos in on the day - shout out to James who our photographers couldn't praise more at the time!

Beautiful building with a lot of history. The windows are magnificent. The history exhibit of the English in Ireland was excellent. Must do if in Derry!

I've visited Derry while on holiday a few times but this was the first time I have been inside. It is such an impressive building; beautiful stain glass windows that are replicas of the originals that were blown out during the troubles.  It has an excellent exhibition of the history of Derry including periodic clothes tha adults can try on.  There is also an area which talks about John Hume and his part in creating the Good Friday Agreement and his Nobel Peace Prize, along with many other accolades are on display.  It also used for a wedding venue.  I would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful building that's free to access. Very helpful staff especially the lady on the front desk/gift shop. My wife even got to play the organ which was incredible.
