About This Event

Scheduled for 16 September at St David's Church in Exeter, this taster session invites participants to explore the resonant tradition of church bell ringing. The event offers a rare opportunity to physically engage with the heavy clappers and learn the rhythmic precision required for this acoustic practice. Led by various instructors, the evening provides an immersive introduction to the mechanics and atmosphere of the craft within the historic church setting.

Come and have a go at Church Bell Ringing! We're running taster sessions on Weds 16th and 23rd September from 6.30pm for you to try your hand at ringing our bells. These are one-off, come and give it a go sessions - there's no commitment to sign up or buy membership, just come and try a centuries-old art.

Meet at the door to the tower (opposite the statue of Redvers Buller) at 6.30pm, or if there's nobody there, send us a message on our Instagram so we can come and let you in :)

If you already know how to ring, please come to our regular practices from 7.30pm.

For safety reasons, we have to limit the number of people at these sessions. If you can't make these sessions or we're fully booked, don't worry! We run beginners' practices throughout the year, but the time might vary slightly, so please get in touch for more details.

We're looking forward to meeting you all! 🔔

Please note there is an unavoidable stone spiral staircase to access the tower.
