Things to see and do
Visiting St George's Guildhall
St George's Guildhall is one of the UK's oldest working theatres. It is owned by the National Trust and leased to King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, who manage and maintain the site. Today you can visit the theatre and soak up its heritage, enjoy art exhibitions and performances, or take part in the theatre's varied learning programme. We're currently working with the Council, feeding into discussions about their plans to breathe new life into this much-loved landmark. Why not find out more about the journey so far and what's to come?
