Experience the Cathedral from on high! A Tower tour includes facts and figures about the Millennium Project, which saw the building of the Tower and vault (completed in 2010). As a reward for climbing the 202 steps, you get to peep ‘behind the scenes’ and can enjoy views across the Bury St Edmunds skyline. This is a great value tour, lasting about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Tower Tours run on Wednesdays (at 2.00 pm) and Saturdays (at 10.30 am) from March to October.
Should you wish to arrange a group Tower Tour, please book in advance, by contacting visits@stedscathedral.org. Gift vouchers for Tower Tours are available via the Cathedral Shop. Please enquire with the team.
