Tower Tours – please read carefully!
Please note that there is a limit of 15 individuals on each tour, and one tour only at each advertised time. This is for your safety and cannot be altered.
Tickets are available a week in advance from the church Gift Shop, and at present cannot be obtained online or over the telephone, sorry.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL, PLEASE CHECK BACK ON THIS PAGE REGULARLY, AS TOURS ARE LIABLE TO BE CANCELLED IF THERE IS A FUNERAL OR OTHER EVENT IN THE CHURCH BUILDING, OR IF FOR ANY REASON THE VOLUNTEER GUIDES ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
ALTHOUGH THE PEREGRINES BRED VERY SUCCESSFULLY, THE HEN MET WITH AN ACCIDENT (SHE IS CURRENTLY BEING NURSED BACK TO HEALTH) AND HER MATE COULD NOT COPE WITH FOUR HUNGRY CHICKS ON HIS OWN. AS A RESULT, THEY HAVE SADLY DIED. THIS DOES MEAN THAT TOUR GROUPS CAN NOW USE THE VIEWING PLATFORM.
For more details – and requests for tours on other days and at other times – please email contact@crookedspire.org, or call 01246 206506. Special tours will normally only run with a minimum of 10 people.
Ticket prices are £10 for an Adult and £5 for a Child – a family ticket for no more than 2 adults and 2 children is also available at £20.
