The Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall is best known as the headquarters of the Apprentice Boys of Derry but there is much more behind the doors of what is affectionately known as “The Mem”.As well as the Apprentice Boys meeting rooms there are meeting rooms for both the Orange Order and the Women’s Orange Order and the Royal Black Preceptory.The Hall is also home to the Society Social Club which organises social events for the members of all the organisations which use the hall. They also organise the “Crimson Balls” after the two main Apprentice Boys Celebrations in December and August.Two of the finest flute bands in Northern Ireland also call the Hall their home. The Churchill Flute Band, the oldest flute band in the world and the William King Memorial Flute Band both practice every week in the Hall.The Crimson Players drama group bring the stage in the main hall to life with their pantomimes and variety shows. They are best known recently for providing the period re-enactment of the Relief of Derry at the start of the parade each August.In 2013 work began on a new museum and exhibition space beside the hall on Society Street. The extension will enable the Association to continue to develop the work in promoting understanding of our history and culture.The new Siege Museum and Exhibition will be a permanent display of the history of the Siege of Londonderry and of the Associated Clubs of the Apprentice Boys of Derry, including artefacts, video and interactive media.Visitors will also have the added attraction of being able to view one of the finest collections of meeting rooms used by the Loyal Orders.There are separate rooms for each of the orders

As a descendant of one of the 13, I was treated like a celebrity when I was there. Great place, museum like with St. Patricks crosses all over the place when I was there. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Great place for culture history and visit to museum. Worth a visit.

Well worth a visit to hear about our local history .

Been along time since Ive been in here. Great day had by all.

Lovely friendly staff. The hall is huge. Cheap drink will def b back

Probably one of the best visits Ive ever had in Ulster. The walk round the walls are amazing the people running the museum have a wealth of knowledge. Would definitely recommend it to everybody

Friendly people. Open to all to see their cultural history. Nice bar inside :If going to the nearby Fountain Estate, The Mem Club here, as its known, is well worth a visit, as well :)

Brilliant Building, great people, what else could you ask for, History lesson we all need to learn, real events real people VVV

True history of the people of Londonderry! Well worth a visit

This lovely building contains an exhibition that explains the Apprentice Boys Clubs, their history and their traditions. It’s a little less forthcoming about their current activities (my question about the Masons was met with a stony silence). You can also visit their meeting rooms, which are strange, formal, court-like rooms.I strongly recommend you to visit here and talk to the guides; you get some real insights into some of the roots of the Troubles. You really should visit a Nationalist exhibition also, for balance.

A fantastic and historic place to visit, well worth a visit
