Bell Ringing @ St Mary's - New & Experienced Ringers are Welcome.

Every Tuesday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Mary de Haura
Church Street Shoreham by Sea, BN43 5DQ, United Kingdom

Tuesday evening is practice night! Newcomers are welcome, even if only to see what it's all about. You need not attend St Mary's as a worshipper and the group welcomes all, whether of any faith or of none.
Come along to meet the band at St Mary's main door, just before 7.30pm (although there is no ringing in Holy Week).

Bell's are rung before the 10am Sunday service, on special personal occasions (such as weddings & baptisms) and, of course, on national moments such as Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee & King Charles' recent Coronation. The band at St Mary's is a lovely group; a mix of men & women, and is not limited to those that worship at St Mary's. Access to the Ringing Room is via a stone, spiral-staircase in the church tower.
