As our Ringing Master John says "The tuition is free so why pay money to go to a gym for a work out? Bell ringing will sort out all your aches and pains and keep you fit, so come on give it a go. You are never too old to learn."

Learning to ring a method is excellent mental exercise for the student brain, and will certainly keep Alzheimer's at bay later on!

Anyone from the age of about 11 up can learn to ring bells. We have had ringers as young as 6 and as old as 85 in our tower. Our ringers have had a multitude of occupations and professions, from teachers, IT managers, gardeners, students, schoolchildren, musicians to doctors, builders and bank managers. The ringing chamber is on the ground floor, so easily accessible to all.

Change ringing is a truly English skill and has been practised for at least 350 years in the same tradition. We practice regularly on Monday nights from 7.30-9.00pm and we look forward to seeing YOU!
