Visitors can count the number of steps over 100 to the top and enjoy views across the Waveney Valley and towards Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
Visitors will be given an informative guided tour on the way up, including a chance to see the historic bells.

The tower is closed on days when there is a wedding at the church in order to give the bell-ringers access to the tower.
