Bell ringing practice for all abilities and ages from 10 years (those wishing to learn of 10-18 years, with parental approval). Safeguarding is upheld at all times with full supervision. Anyone thinking of learning about bell ringing is welcome to come along. 6.00pm to 6.30pm is set aside for new ringers. An half hour can be added on at the end, 8.00pm-8.30pm, for anyone wanting extra help. A team of bell ringers regularly ring for an hour before the 6.30pm Evensong service once a month.
