Standing prominently on Bridge Street, Peterborough Town Hall is the city’s civic heart. Opened in 1933, its stately Neo-Georgian façade, grand portico, and clock tower reflect the interwar ambition of a growing city. Inside, its council chambers, function rooms, and ceremonial spaces have hosted countless civic events, receptions, and meetings over the decades. While primarily in use for local government, parts of the building are opened for special events, heritage days, and public tours, offering a rare glimpse into the workings and traditions of civic life.
