Visit the Clock Tower for free this weekend to celebrate Heritage Open Days.
Take a look at the new display boards on the roof which interpret the panoramic views and highlight what to look out for.
In addition, for this weekend only, a display entitled, “Starring the Clock Tower in film and on TV” will be available to view on the first floor. The St Albans Clock Tower has appeared in a variety of films including, a silent black and white 1920 American film, “If Winter Comes” and the charming British film, “Hand in Hand” which was mostly filmed in central St Albans over the summer of 1960. The Tower has also featured in TV series, such as, “Grange Hill”, the “Hairy Bikers” and last year, “Antiques Road Trip”.
Young visitors have the chance to win a bag of chocolate coins by playing “Hunt the Keys”. Golden keys will be hidden throughout the Clock Tower for children to find.
