Lessons are available for adults and children over 10 and are free. We teach you at a time to suit you.
Once you have reached a reasonable standard, you will be encouraged to join us in ringing the bells of All Saints' church prior to services.
To arrange a trial lesson, without obligation, contact Nicholas (details above). Or drop in to the church when we are ringing (see Events below).

We asked some of our ringing friends why they enjoy bell ringing. Here are their answers:
It's a team activity that unites the generations. DC
It's better fun than watching television. CS
Not only is it a community based activity but also it’s a physical and mental skill. JW
It's challenging like chess or golf, but is cooperative rather than competitive. GC
It's a very English activity that you don't find in many other places. JBC
When ringing, I can't think about ANYTHING else; all other worries and troubles are forcibly expelled from my mind; it's the most wonderful release! FW
