The Loughborough Bellfoundry Museum is now open!
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the Loughborough Bellfoundry Trust is delighted that our museum has reopened with Covid-safe measures in place. Visit our Access page for more information about your visit and what we are doing to keep you safe.
WE ARE CURRENTLY TAKING BOOKINGS FOR MUSEUM VISITS & FOUNDRY TOURS
We now offer two ticket types: an hour-long guided visit to our museum or an approximately two-hour guided tour of the full foundry works. Follow the links below to read more about both options.
VISIT THE LOUGHBOROUGH BELLFOUNDRY MUSEUM
Book your timed entry for a guided visit to our family-friendly museum, lasting approximately one hour.
ENJOY A TOUR OF THE FULL FOUNDRY WORKS
See the historic John Taylor and Company bellfoundry in action with a full guided tour from one of our expert guides. This ticket option also includes access to the museum.
Opening Times
Details of available museum visit slots and tour tickets can be found above. As the world reopens, we will further update our regular opening hours.
School visits
Educating the next generation about the importance of the Loughborough Bellfoundry is essential if we are to protect the site for years to come.
As part of our mission to revive and restore the bellfoundry, we are looking to work with local schools to develop a new education programme at the Bellfoundry Museum. This might involve bringing your class to visit us, or our Heritage Engagement Officer coming out to you.
If you are interested in organising a school, community or uniformed group visit contact us today!
Curriculum
Tours can also be tailored to fulfill the needs of the curriculum and have a more artistic or scientific focus.
We have also created a whole host of free resources for you to use in the classroom or on your visit!
