The backdrop to many of the events at St Mary's come from our Band of Bell Ringers. They are often requested to ring for weddings, sometimes for funerals and also for community events such as Light Up & Town Carols. However, they are mostly heard inviting the town of Shoreham-by-Sea to gather for the 10am each Sunday morning or on Tuesdays evening, when it is practice night.
In their own words "We are a very happy band of bell ringers, with a wide range of experience from learners to expert bell ringers. We meet every Tuesday evening for bell ringing practice from 7.30pm until 9.00pm. If you would like to find out more please leave us a message on this page or email the Vicar in contact info. We can arrange a visit to our tower on a practice night, then you can decide if you want to "learn the ropes" You don't have to be a church goer, or hold a religious belief- (or not) All welcome. Ding Dong!!!"
Do consider coming along and introducing yourself. Many people come to bell ringing out of a slight curiosity only to find it blossoms into something splendid. You can make contact directly via Facebook too.
