Behind the hall's classical faÃ§ade on Church Street are grand chambers fit for some of the most prestigious events, alongside collections that show local craftsmanship at its best.

And visitors got a rare chance to explore the opulent hall and learn about its history.

The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire owns the place as a private concern, maintaining it through a registered charity without the need for public money or government grants.
