Brace yourself for an unforgettable experience as you delve into the Bell Ringing Room, nestled within the iconic tower of this historic landmark.

Each tour is meticulously crafted to provide a captivating hour-long journey, filled with fascinating insights into the tower’s history. Prepare to be amazed as you witness a mesmerising demonstration of the bells in all their glory. Feel the reverberations and embrace the harmonious melodies that have echoed through the ages. During this immersive experience, you’ll have the unique opportunity to ask questions, deepen your understanding, and even ring one of the bells yourself!

To ensure an intimate and immersive experience, each tour is limited to just 15 people. Please note that participants must be 12 years old or older and in good physical condition, as the tour involves climbing the narrow spiral staircase of the ancient Minot Tower. If you have a fear of heights or tight spaces, we recommend considering other tours of the Cathedral.

This highly sought-after tour fills up quickly, so booking in advance is essential to secure your place. If your preferred session is sold out, don’t despair. Feel free to email Clark Brydon (Education & Safeguarding Officer) at education@stpatrickscathedral.ie who may be able to advise on availability.
