The second floor houses the Sheriff’s Room. The feminine feel to this room is down to the fact that it was originally intended as a ladies room, primarily for the Lady Mayoress. As the room became rarely used it was changed to the Sheriff’s Room in 1988 to enable the many visitors from around the world to meet the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham and to enjoy its particular charm. Unlike the dark wood panelling, heavy furniture and marble fireplaces that feature in mort other rooms, this room is decorated in the Adam style, with soft green and gilt. The centre piece of this room is a magnificent crystal chandelier and its two matching wall lights. There is also a small bronze replica of the Robin Hood statue in the room.

Along the corridor is the Committee Room, where many important decisions affecting the city and its inhabitants are taken. The main feature of this room is the horseshoe shaped walnut veneer table and a number of pastel drawings of the Nottingham by Thomas William Hammond, the local artist who did the charcoal drawings on the back staircase and landings. The lights in this room are a miniature version of the lights in the Ballroom.
