THE tower at Worcester Cathedral is set to reopen this weekend after it was closed due to newly hatched peregrine falcon chicks.

The attraction is back open for visitors to climb up on Saturday, May 4 and on Bank Holiday Monday, May 6.

It was closed last Saturday to avoid people disturbing the peregrine falcon nest at the tower.

Worcester Cathedral said the chicks are "thriving" and it's now safe for visitors to access the tower without disturbing them.

The Tower on the Hour starts on the hour, each hour, which is usually at 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm.

Also, the Cathedral Ferry will be running this weekend, on Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, from 1.15pm to 5.15pm.

People can also visit the Cloister Café and sample some "new summer delights" on the menu.
