About The Hospital of St Cross Chapel Tower Tours

Step beyond the public view and uncover the hidden heights of The Hospital of St Cross on our Tower Tour. This 90-minute to two-hour guided tour reveals secret parts of the chapel’s ancient structure, guiding you through dusty passageways, over exposed beams, up spiral staircases – and, weather permitting, along the parapet of the historic tower. It’s equal parts hands-on adventure and historical deep dive – ideal for the sure-footed and strong-stomached!

Expect narrow spiral stairs with no handrails, uneven floors, low beams, steep climbs and a backward step onto a ladder(!)

Suitable for ages 12+ only.

Dates: Tours take place twice a month. Check The Hospital of St Cross's website for dates and booking information.

Tickets: £20
