The Carillon at Byrd Park

The 53 bells of the The War Memorial Carillon have been ringing since 1928. Dedicated as a lasting memorial to those who served in “The Great War,” the tower of 240 feet was designed to include a carillon, built by the John Taylor Bell Foundry in Loughborough, England. Today, the bells are played at concerts to commemorate civic holidays such as Memorial Day, but you can hire Demas Boudreaux to ring the famous bells for your wedding or other event. The first floor of the Carillon Tower has event space for parties, wedding receptions, and meetings. Many a Richmond bride has been married on the Tower steps to the bright sounds of the carillon bells pealing overhead.
