silently until the day they could ring out again to mark peace.
This is an opportunity not to be missed.
We're looking at holding an open session for anyone to come and have a go at ringing a church bell; It is an experience you'll never have tried before! (Unless of course you have been a ringer in the past in which case please come back & help us!)
As an added bonus is it's free & open to anyone over the age of ten years! You can come along as a family group as it’s for all ages!
There are steps to climb but it’s well worth it to have lots of fun, make new friends & keeps you fit in mind & body!
Please note the tower is not open to the public.
