The Tower will be open for climbing mainly on Saturdays, Sundays, Bank Holidays and school holidays.
'Tower on the hour' starts on the hour each hour, usually at 11am 12pm, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm (times will vary so please double check for your date before coming).
'Tower on the hour' costs £10 per adult and £5 for U18s.
A family ticket (max 2 adults + 4 children) is £25. Unfortunately these are only available from the Welcome Desk at the Cathedral (due to the limitations of Eventbrite)
On Sundays it's 'Tower on the HALF hour"! 12:30, 1:30 and 2:30, but other than that it is the same as the other days.
PLEASE NOTE: TICKET SALES END ON THE MORNING OF THE CLIMB - THERE ARE USUALLY STILL SOME TICKETS AVAILABLE IF YOU TURN UP.
In purchasing the ticket you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of climbing.

Under 16s must be supervised by an adult (1 adult per 2 children). Unfortunately children under 8 are not able to climb the Tower for insurance reasons.
The Tower climb is hard work and involves climbing 235 steps up a steep, narrow, winding staircase. The staircase narrows significantly at the top and should only be tackled if you are feeling fit, healthy and well and wearing suitable footwear (no heels or loose fitting shoes). You cannot bring bags up the tower.
Although climbers are supervised by Cathedral staff you are welcome to climb at your own pace.
Information about the Tower will be available, but this is not a guided tour of the Tower.
Please note - we will close the tower at short notice in instances of bad weather. On these occasions your tickets will be refunded.
