Tower tours:

This year we will be taking small groups of people up the Jubilee tower throughout the open weekend:

Information on the Jubilee tower tours:

The tower tours are not available to pre-book, so it will be first come first served on the day. We'll be handing out tickets from the reception desk.

We will be taking 5 people up per half hour over each of the open days, starting from 10am, with the last trip at 3:30pm, so 12 trips to accomodate 60 people on each day. Due to safety issues we cannot take children up, so the age limit has been set at 14 years.
