Wills Memorial Building tower tours
Take a tour of the Wills Memorial Building. See behind the grand facade and experience the splendour of the Great Hall, Council Chamber and ornate libraries.
The view from the top of Wills Tower, some 68 metres above Park Street, is unparalleled and tour guides give members of the public a unique insight into the history of the building.
Officially opened by King George V and Queen Mary in 1925, before being badly damaged during the Blitz in 1940, the Wills Memorial Building now houses the University of Bristol Law School and the School of Earth Sciences
The building also hosts our graduation ceremonies twice a year, as well as a whole range of public events.
