On Saturday 20 September the congregation of All Saints’ Church will be opening up for Tower Tours from 1pm – 4pm. Visitors will be able to climb the 106 steps to the roof top of the tower of All Saints’ Church and enjoy spectacular views over Westbury and to the White Horse. Why not come and see if you can see your house from the top of the tower?
In the Ringing Chamber, members of the bell ringing team will be on hand to talk about the eight bells that hang in the tower: the third heaviest peal in the World. You will also be able to view the workings of the 17th century chiming clock.
The tower will be open during Westbury’s famous Wiltshire Chilli Fest taking place on the same day. Why not pop in and enjoy the view while you are in town? All proceeds will go towards the work of the church and the upkeep of the Grade 1 Listed building.
Don’t forget your camera as the views across Westbury and to the White Horse are spectacular. Why not see if you can spot your house! Whether you’re a local or a visitor drawn by the festivities in town, the Tower Tours promise not only a climb to greater heights but a moment to pause, reflect, and view Westbury from a new perspective
Entry to the tower will be £4.50 per adult and £1 per child. Doors open at 12.45pm and the last tour at 3.45pm.
You can find All Saints’ Church between the Market Place and the Library and can be reached from Church Street, Market Place or Edward Street. Parking is available in the High Street Car Park. More details can be found on the church website www.achurchnearyou.com/All-Saints-Westbury
Your safety is important and weather conditions may mean that we are unable to open on the day.
