The Council House is indisputably the most magnificent Council building in a city which is full of elegance and imposing architecture. This splendid building, whose 200 foot high dome dominates the city skyline, represents a late resurgence of the civic pride which characterised the end of the Victorian era.

Far from being a museum, the Council House is a vital, living part of the city and the centre of local politics as elected councillors who represent the people of the city conduct much of their business here.

Nottingham’s Council House was completed in 1929, and it remains a great source of pride to the people of Nottingham. It has been the setting for many spectacular occasions – royalty, statesmen and women and stars of stage and screen have been entertained there, and both the F.A. and European cups have been held aloft from its balcony and a great many worthy organisations and individuals have received the thanks of a grateful city there.
