About

From the towering glass spire of the Bell Tower, one of the largest musical instruments in the world fills Perth City with its chimes. The bells are the original (circa Fourteenth Century) bells of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church, the parish church of Buckingham Palace in Trafalgar Square, London.

It's one of the few places on Earth where interactive demonstrations allow visitors to see the ancient art of bell ringing in action and have a go at ringing the bells.

In addition to the St. Martin bells, the Bell Tower recently installed the ANZAC Bell. It's the largest bell of its kind ever made in Australia and was cast in Perth. The ANZAC Bell is expected to last over 500 years and weighs 6,500 kilograms.

The interpretive displays share some impressive insights into the history of the bells and bell ringing. The open-air observation deck is perched on the sixth floor and boasts stunning views of the Swan River and the City.

This award-winning attraction is located in Barrack Square, where the City meets the Swan River and is just a five-minute stroll from the City Centre making it one of the most visited must-see attractions in Perth.

We had a really enjoyable experience visiting the Bell Tower in Perth and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something a bit different to do in the city. The tour itself was very informative and engaging, with a great balance between history and hands-on experience. One of the highlights was actually getting the chance to ring the bells ourselves it’s not something you get to do every day, and it made the visit feel much more memorable and interactive. The views from the upper levels were also fantastic, overlooking Elizabeth Quay and the surrounding areas, which made it a great spot for photos. You can easily spend around 30–60 minutes here without feeling rushed, and it’s well worth the time. Another thing I appreciated was how well-organised everything was. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and the whole experience felt smooth from start to finish. It’s also pram-friendly, which made it much easier for us since we had a child with us always a big plus when visiting attractions. At the end of the visit, there’s a lovely gift shop with a wide variety of bells in different sizes and styles. It’s a great place to pick up a unique souvenir, and some of the designs are really beautiful. Overall, it’s a unique and enjoyable experience that combines history, views, and a bit of fun. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Perth.
