Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula
The Chapel Royal of St Peter Ad Vincula is a working community chapel, which means it may be subject to closures. Please check here for any upcoming closures.
Closures
Middle Tower (main visitor entrance)
Middle Tower will be closed until mid-August 2026 (open during busy periods) while important conservation work takes place. Middle Drawbridge will be the main visitor entrance when Middle Tower is closed.
Gun salutes
Please note the Wharf will close at least an hour before the gun salutes and there will be no access to the parts of the Wharf during the set up and duration of the gun salutes. Gun salutes take place at 13.00 and consist of 62 rounds unless otherwise stated.
The Wharf will also close the evening before each gun salute (from 18.00 to 21.00) for rehearsals.
Please note, the 13.00 Yeoman Warder Tour will be cancelled when a gun salute is taking place. They recommence at 13.30.
