Super cool place with so much history. If you have a chance to, please visit here! If this was in London or any busier city it would be so packed out. I went on a Thursday afternoon at lunchtime and it was pretty empty. I loved all the old history and the way they’ve decorated the rooms. The ghost room gave me a little chill too so watch out …

We really enjoyed our visit. We have been twice now, and enjoyed both times. Our first visit was on a ghost hunt at night, and it was really fun. Our next visit was during the day, and it was nice to see lots of history. The staff were so friendly and we got some lovely photos. It doesn't cost to go through the day, but they do ask for a donation of around £3 for the upkeep of the building. The ghost hunt does cost, but was well worth the money as we had a great night with everyone who was there. Sadly we did not witness any paranormal activity.

An absolute gem with lots of interesting artefacts about its history from Medieval through to Georgian and 20th Century inhabitants. The staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable. We have been a number of times but there's always something new to discover and remember. Visit in the Spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Great for kids of the grown up variety too. For the 110th anniversary they had various interesting talks and activities including Medieval music ans the story of the Bradford Boar. Very well curated. Know your history. Visit and support

I come here from time to time due to the museum being free to visit. Although I hardly ever experience any ghost sightings when I visit the building the interesting facts about the place and the overall history is still as fascinating. Bolling hall is amazing and I would recommend going here to anybody who is interested.

Magnificent and awesome Hall Museum in Bradford. The mansion itself dates back to the 17th Century and you can see a series of rooms, which are beautifully displayed and as you wander from one end of the house to the other you can see the brilliant transitions of history and also influences from 16th Century to 17th Century giving you an idea of the cultural tastes of the time. The rooms that you walk through include The Kitchen, Study, Parlour, Georgian Drawing Room, Georgian Dining Room, The Nursery, The Ghost Room and Civil War Parlour. The most interesting of these rooms is The Ghost Room with the chilling ghost story and also has eerie feel to it and The Georgian Drawing Room having a delightful Georgian feel to it and The Kitchen has a great display of the foods that people ate during 16th Century giving you an idea of their diets. There are informative displays in each of the room giving you an interesting note of their history and their use and there are some interesting Civil War artefacts to view in the Civil War Parlour. The external aspect of the house is also amazing where you can view the spectacular architecture, which is breathtaking. There is a shop selling a nice range of souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall this is a thoroughly exemplary and impeccable place to visit and makes for a very interesting day out. Well worth a visit whilst in Bradford.
