Request a Tour!

Request a free tour of our tower and see how we play the bells!

If you want a tour for a group, only one person needs to request it.

For special requests, please contact carillon@yale.edu

Request a free tour of Harkness Tower and see how we play the bells! We highly suggest that you request tours at least 48 hours in advance, as we may be unable to accomodate tours on short notices. If you would like a tour for a group, only one person needs to request it. Reiterated, note that your tour will only be confirmed when a Guild member reaches out to you.

NOTE: Please be advised that going up Harkness Tower requires climbing quite a few stairs (over 130 steps), and there is no elevator in the building. Thus, your discretion is advised when bringing very young children on a tour.


The disabled dates are blocked off for the following reasons:

  • Mondays: Ellen Dickinson ('97 '99 MM), the university carillonneur, performs weekly.

I would like to be notified about upcoming Guild events!
