Bournville Carillon
Look up at Bournville’s school-tower carillon, a gift from George Cadbury to the workers, and plan around a recital if hearing the bells matters to you.

The tower shows how music and shared amenities formed part of the Cadbury vision for Bournville. Its setting beside the village green makes it a useful architectural and historical stop between larger visits. Hearing the bells changes the experience, but the exterior can be appreciated separately; tower entry and the visitor centre need their own confirmation.
What to look for
The carillon tower rises above the village school.
Bournville Green provides a setting for viewing the tower.
Useful to know
Confirm the recital programme before making a special journey to hear the bells.
Observe the school tower from public streets and respect school boundaries.
