The Bell Tower Experience

Book in your time and date so you don’t miss out! 

The Bell Tower is the only place in the world where you can view bell ringing in action! Have a go with at an interactive Bell Chiming Experience where you can try the art of bell ringing yourself with an experienced tour guide. Learn about the history of the Bell Tower and the historic royal bells.

See the new 6.5tonne ANZAC Bell and watch it at midday every day for 1 minute. Commemorating Australia’s bicentenary in 1988, twelve bells of the eighteen bells in the tower were a gift from St Martin in the Fields. The additional bells include two from the cities of London and Westminster, who each gifted one bell to the project, and a total of three bells bestowed by a consortium of British and Australian mining companies. Completing the ring of eighteen bells, a sixth new bell was commissioned by the Western Australian Government to mark the second millennium.
