The Bellfoundry in Loughborough is home to historic bellfounders John Taylor and Company, and is a unique place with global architectural and historical significance.

Tours begin with a short talk introducing the Taylor's story. You will then enter the Victorian factory building to experience the Full Foundry Works. Explore the Victorian covered yard, where bells arrive for repair and depart for their new homes. You will also take in the joinery shop and learn how Taylor's craftsmen produce bell wheels, carillon claviers and other vital pieces of the bell installation. The tour also includes a visit to the magical tuning shop, where the iconic sound of a Taylor's bell is perfected. Visitors will have access to the casting hall viewing platform and a short video explaining the bellfounding process.

Tours are available each month, check the Bellfoundry website for dates.

Terms & Conditions

Taylor's is a working foundry, so what you see on the day will vary according to current jobs. We cannot guarantee that a casting will take place on the day of your visit, but there is always plenty to see and enjoy!
Visitors must wear flat, closed shoes to take part in the tour. We also recommend wrapping up warmly in winter and avoiding loose clothing.
We regret that there is currently no completely step-free route on the tour and toilet facilities are very limited during our renovation works.
