Gt Yarmouth Minster – Explore the Heights: Bell Tower Tours

Step inside one of the church’s most fascinating spaces as we open up the bell tower for a special family-friendly event. This is a unique opportunity to explore the inner workings of the tower, learn about its history, and experience the age-old tradition of bell ringing first-hand.

Our team of dedicated bell ringers will be on hand throughout the day to demonstrate how the bells are rung and share the skill, rhythm, and teamwork that go into this centuries-old practice. You’ll get to see the ropes in action, hear the bells ring out, and discover just how much coordination it takes to keep everything in time!

Children and adults alike will enjoy the chance to ask questions, handle some of the equipment, and learn fun facts about the bells and their place in the life of the church. There will be plenty to see and do for all ages, and no climbing experience is necessary—just a sense of curiosity and adventure!

Whether you're local or just visiting, this is a great way to learn more about the church, its traditions, and the wonderful volunteers who keep them going.

Come and join us for a memorable day at the top of the church—no booking required, just turn up and enjoy!
