Music and Bells

Music is a key part of our worship across the Benefice. 

Each church has an organist for all services - except the 3rd Sunday at 3 at Shiplake where a keyboard is played.

Harpsden has a choir (who practice on Fridays at 12.30pm).

There are three possibilities with bells - large and small, as follows:
    Hand chimes - these will occasionally feature in services and activities.
    Hand bells - a community group (more details below).
    Tower bells - at Shiplake, with practices on Tuesdays at 7.30pm, please see here for more information.

Shiplake Handbell ringers meet on a Friday morning from 9.45 to 11.15am. Currently a group of 8 (2 men and 6 women), but would love to welcome new members. No experience is necessary, but if you can read music, it helps! We ring mostly popular tunes, enjoying some laughs along the way.
If you might be interested in joining us, please do drop in and see/hear what we do.
