Great Yarmouth Town Hall is a municipal building in Hall Plain, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. The town hall, which is the meeting place of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, is a Grade II* listed building. It was designed by John Bond Pearce in the Queen Anne Revival style, with terracotta facings and a 110-foot-tall (34 m) clock tower with a lantern above. It was officially opened by the Prince of Wales Edward VII on 31 May 1882. The building served as the headquarters of Great Yarmouth County Borough Council for much of the 20th century and has continued to operate as the local seat of government following the formation of the enlarged Great Yarmouth Borough Council in 1974.
