    Gorgeous Gothic style architecture of Wills Memorial Building will leave you awestruck and fascinated by the grand exterior. There are a lot of people there at all times so you won't have much time to admire the interior especially decorated ceiling though.

    Absolutely stunning place to visit. Would highly recommend anyone in Bristol to have a visit there. They have tours planned on Saturdays. They also do private tours. The main guide Garry is such a lovely gentleman who share so much about the place (I don't want to spoil the fun by sharing those here). If you are in Bristol, this is one of those places that you should not miss.

    We visited the Wills Memorial Building Tower for a Bristol University degree graduation, but were blown away by the wonderful architecture and beautiful lighting inside the building.

    Great experience but not for the faint of hearts 🤣 going up over 300 steps was not a picnic but the view was worth it and the fantastic guide Gary and all his helpers made the experience even more special with all the historical information they shared with us. * available toilets and umbrellas * * * Kids as young as 6 are allowed**

    Visited as a Graduation venue for the students of University of Bristol. Can accomodate around 250-300 people in this main hall.

    Beautiful church-like building, well worth a visit. They run tours too, which is the best way to see it. Only small and infrequent so check the website and book ahead.

    Highly recommend the tour of Wills Memorial - Gary , our guide, was entertaining and informative. A stunning building and great views from the top of the tower. Lots of steps but totally worth it!

    Beautiful building and it feels bigger on the inside. The hall often has events for the general public. Had lectures here often and it felt like Hogwarts a bit.

    took the Tower tour after seeing the Moon Exhibition (which was amazing). Great tour, great fun and amazing views over the best city in the UK. The tour team were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Money goes to a good cause, so get out there and up that tower!

  • 5/5 Andrew G. 6 years ago on Google
    Took a fantastic tour of thr building. Daniel was incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. Fantastic to see Bristol from a different perspective. If you are in Bristol, this is something you definitely don't want to miss. Bank Holiday Mondays at 1pm. Every Sunday at 12 and 1pm, only £4 for students.

    Beautiful building and an impressive first point of entry to the university. I only visited the main hall which is impressive of itself, but long round trip to the loo! Entry to the building can be restricted so don't just wander in- you might be told off! There are tours up the tower on selected days of the month (check their website for exact dates) for a small fee but make sure you book in advance otherwise you may not get a space.

    Just the view from the outside is enough to show the calibre of this place. Perfectly placed and excellent quality.

    I got my fingers stuck in the giant door when I was a kid, very traumatic experience. So sad that Lenny the Lungfish died :(
