About the Event

Join us for an unforgettable opportunity to step inside Bancroft Tower, the 56-foot-tall granite and natural stone landmark that resembles a miniature medieval castle. Closed to the public for decades, the tower offers spectacular panoramic views and a fascinating glimpse into Worcester's architectural heritage.

Constructed in 1900 by Stephen Salisbury III as a memorial to historian and diplomat George Bancroft, the tower remains one of the city's most distinctive landmarks.

Tours begin at the base of Bancroft Tower on Bancroft Tower Road in Salisbury Park in Worcester. During this exclusive experience, you'll explore the tower's architecture, hidden features, and remarkable history while enjoying access to an interior that has been largely closed to the public since the 1980s.
