Britain's What's On Event Guide
Guildford Cathedral Tower Tours
Join our Tower Tour Guides on an exciting journey spiralling up the 249 steps to the top of Guildford Cathedral. Pass through our Ringing Chamber and Bell Chamber containing the only ring of 12 bells in the Diocese. Enjoy the stunning 360° views across Guildford and towards London before descending and visiting our Cafe/Restaurant for a well-deserved piece of cake!
