Testimonials

Merchants’ Hall was a wonderful setting for my mother’s 100th birthday celebration lunch. Our guests enjoyed the fascinating talk on the history of the Hall at the end of lunch. My mother was positively glowing with the excitement of it all. We hope to find an excuse for another party at Merchants’ Hall before too long!
