Absolutely stunning place to visit. Would highly recommend anyone in Bristol to have a visit there. They have tours planned on Saturdays. They also do private tours. The main guide Garry is such a lovely gentleman who share so much about the place (I don't want to spoil the fun by sharing those here). If you are in Bristol, this is one of those places that you should not miss.

The Wills Memorial Building tour was very interesting and informative, the two guides were funny and bounced off eachother which made the whole time relaxed and easy going, unlike all the steps we went up, though there is a lift done of the way. The Great Hall was very interesting, the Bell was loud and the views from the roof of the tower were amazing. Highly recommend.

Great experience but not for the faint of hearts 🤣 going up over 300 steps was not a picnic but the view was worth it and the fantastic guide Gary and all his helpers made the experience even more special with all the historical information they shared with us. * available toilets and umbrellas * * * Kids as young as 6 are allowed**

took the Tower tour after seeing the Moon Exhibition (which was amazing). Great tour, great fun and amazing views over the best city in the UK. The tour team were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Money goes to a good cause, so get out there and up that tower!

Gorgeous Gothic style architecture of Wills Memorial Building will leave you awestruck and fascinated by the grand exterior. There are a lot of people there at all times so you won't have much time to admire the interior especially decorated ceiling though.
