About Taylor's Bell Foundry
Step inside Loughborough's most resonant treasure, where the art of bellfounding has rung through the centuries and continues to this day. At Taylor's Bell Foundry, the air hums with heritage as you wander through a fascinating museum packed with gleaming bells, intricate craftsmanship and centuries of history. Then venture onto the working factory floor, where skilled hands shape molten metal into magnificent instruments that will one day peal across rooftops worldwide. The Classic Tour suits curious families, while the Casting Tour lets you watch glowing metal poured in a live demonstration — a truly unforgettable spectacle. Children aged nine and over are welcome on tours, with advance booking essential. Museum entry runs Tuesday to Friday, with little ones under twelve admitted free.
