Tunbridge Wells has unveiled a new gem for history buffs and view seekers alike: the Clocktower at Trinity Theatre. This newly opened vantage point offers breathtaking panoramic views of the town, coupled with a fascinating journey through its rich history. Best of all, it's free to visit, making it a must-see for locals and visitors alike.

Running until 29th July 2025, the Clocktower experience invites you to 'climb back through time'. As you ascend the 118 steps, each level reveals a different chapter in the story of Trinity Theatre. From its beginnings as Tunbridge Wells' first parish church in the 1820s to its current role as a vibrant arts venue, the Clocktower tells a captivating tale of transformation.

Once at the top, you're rewarded with stunning views across Tunbridge Wells, offering a unique perspective of the town's heritage and horizon. Tours run every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, with three morning slots available. Due to limited spaces, advance booking via Trinity's website is recommended.

For those unable to climb, an interactive digital kiosk in the foyer provides a virtual tour, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience. Trinity Theatre, known for its theatre productions and film screenings, is also a Grade II listed building and a cornerstone of the town's cultural heritage.

Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and other generous contributors, the Clocktower project highlights Trinity's commitment to community initiatives. From youth theatre programmes to inclusive arts groups, every donation supports meaningful work, generating significant social value.

Whether you're a local, a history enthusiast, or simply seeking the best views in town, the Clocktower is a climb worth making. Pair your visit with a coffee at Trinity’s café or a stroll in the garden, and enjoy a day of discovery. Book your tour today and support your local arts venue while seeing Tunbridge Wells from a new perspective.
