Westminster Abbey and Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The Abbey will re-open for sightseeing visitors from Friday 21st May.
In the meantime, we remain open for worship and you are welcome to join us at our daily services. We are also open for individual prayer from 10:30am - 12:30pm, Monday to Saturday.
Bell ringing days
The Abbey bells can usually be heard before services and in celebration of church festivals and royal occasions.
Following the latest guidelines from the Church of England and the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, ringing at the Abbey by our volunteer bell ringers is currently suspended during the coronavirus outbreak.
See the Abbey bells page for a history of bell ringing at Westminster Abbey.
SHARE
You are surrounded by history at the Abbey, not like a museum where it’s just displayed, but here you are standing where history has happened.
