When we arrived at the Guildhall there was an Exhibition on the Planation of Ireland on the ground floor. While we were there, we could hear the organ being played upstairs and were lucky to catch a glimpse of a small wedding party who had come to get their photos taken. We also had a pleasure of seeing the collection of awards that John Hume's wife had donated to the Guildhall, after his death. These were received for his continuous efforts in putting together the Peace Progress. Well worth a visit

The Guildhall is a functional civic building, but there are exhibitions which are open to the public free of charge. It is a very attractive historic building and we were made to feel very welcome by the receptionist. There is a very good and comprehensive exhibition on the ground floor, which explains the history of communities that were formed as plantations. On the first floor, there is also a short film about Bloody Sunday.

The Guild Hall really stands out in Derry. There is an exhibition about Derry and the guild hall on the ground floor which is interesting. You can go upstairs to seethe hall and the highlight of the magnificent stained glass windows. There is a lift to go up to the hall and there are good toilet facilities here. The attendant at the front door was welcoming and advised where to go and what to see. Entry was free.

Whilst there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Guildhall, having read about it beforehand, I was a little disappointed with this as an attraction. All the staff I spoke to their informative and helpful. The stain glass windows at one end were quite spectacular.

History is very well presented to visitors. The exhibition materials were very informative. Lots of artifacts to view. I was particularly struck by the contents of the glass time capsule. The stain glass windows were very descriptive,not the originals but still impressive. John Humes display of his peace awards was great to see. Well worth a visit. Entrance is free.

The information about the English Plantation in the 1600's is on 1 room on the main floor as you walk into the building. I liked the detailed information on the large print poster boards about how the English went about colonizing Derry with English settlers and dividing up the land taken from local Irish chieftains. It was also interesting to read about how the city came to be called Londonderry by its "brokers" and why the Irish call the city Derry. The room in which this display is kept has interesting architectural features such as ornate plaster work on the ceiling and stained glass windows showing historical events. This display is free and needs about 30 minutes of one's time. This information complements the information on Londonderry's history in the Tower Museum. I enjoyed both of these visits.

This beautiful and historic building is a must for every visitor to Derry. Its architecture and stained glass windows are so magnificent, and within, its exhibitions are so interesting, not least the John Hume collection of Peace Medals on permanent loan from his family. Staff at The Guild Hall must be strongly commended, their friendliness, knowledge, and enthusiasm was most appreciated so, a special Thanks to Nicola, Ray & Chris who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable.

This building is very beautiful. There was a lot of information about John Hume and the roll he played in the Good Friday Agreements. Also information about Bloody Sunday and the inquiries. The inside of the building is quite pretty overall, especially the big rooms. The building looks out onto a courtyard, with the city walls behind it. Just very pretty overall.

We were brought to the Guildhall as part of a day trip. A stunning architectural building found across the road from the Peace Bridge and the river. Very elegant inside with beautiful stained glass windows. Staff very welcoming, helpful and pleasant considering we were quite a large group. An exhibition was on show downstairs in one of the large rooms. Free entry, worth a visit.

This is a nice historic building just off the city walls. Make sure to visit upstairs as well as the ground floor. There is a pleasant square outside with a water feature which kids love on a. Hot day, there is also a couple of bars / coffee shops to sit and watch the wo4ld go by.
