Bell Ringing Taster Sessions
About
Come and try bell ringing with a special ‘hands on’ experience during the Bells Exhibition in the Cathedral.You will be taken up the Cathedral tower steps, walking along the clerestory with views down into the Cathedral, along some narrow passages, to see the ringing room and the bells in the belfry. Qualified ringing teachers will help you to ring the bells just as the real bell ringers do every Sunday. You will also be able to see the bells in action in the belfry.
Each session lasts about 1 hour. There is one session each Tuesday and Thursday during the Exhibition. Places are limited to a maximum of 9 per session.
