Join the KCACR Ringing Discovery Day to have a go at bellringing

Ever wondered what it’s like to ring the majestic bells that can be heard echoing across our towns and villages?
Now’s your chance!

 

The Kent County Association of Change Ringers, which oversees bellringing in Kent, is hosting a Ringing Discovery Day on Saturday 2 August, at St Margaret’s Church, Rochester from 10am to 4pm.  

 

Members of the public are invited to drop in to experience the thrill of pulling the ropes, learn about the history of bellringing, get a taste of the techniques and meet the passionate ringers who keep this art alive in action.

 

Bellringing is a great way to make new friends, get involved in your community, and to stay active at any age.

 

The sound of church bells is a cherished part of our community’s fabric: now you can meet the people behind the peals, and see if bellringing if something you might enjoy too. There’s no experience needed – just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm! Bellringing is suitable for all ages and for people of all faiths or none.
