VISITING THE HALL

A visit to Salisbury should include a visit to The Medieval Hall where you can appreciate the building and, in particular, enjoy 'DISCOVER SALISBURY' – an absorbing, entertaining and informative 40 minute film about SALISBURY past & present.

It is in four sections:

  • 1.'THE MEDIEVAL HALL' – its history and the feasting which took place here many centuries ago.
  • 2.'ANCIENT BEGINNINGS' – How the people left the settlement at Old Sarum in the 13th century and built a new Cathedral and City down by the River Avon.
  • 3.'HEAR YE' – A colourful and amusing depiction of today's City of Salisbury told by the Town Crier.
  • 4.'FLYING VISITS' – A notional helicopter ride to visit the significant places in the area which any visitor should try to see.


Look out for information boards in The Close for opening times.

OPEN ALL YEAR FOR PRE-BOOKED GROUPS.
