Bell ringing

St Giles Church has eight bells and a fantastic band of ringers from diverse backgrounds and varying levels of experience.

We are always on the hunt for new recruits to learn this ancient and worthwhile pastime. Anyone aged nine to 90 can learn to ring. It does not take great strength or the need to have any musical knowledge. You also don’t need to belong to a church. All you need is the ability to climb the steps up to the ringing chamber and to be able to count to eight.

Bell ringing practice night is on Tuesday 7.30 - 9.00pm, except for the first Tuesday in the month when we practice at All Saints Church, Westlegate, NR1 3LG. Beginners and visitors welcome.

On Sundays we normally ring 09.40 till 10.30 for the morning service. We also ring for weddings and other special occasions, such as seeing in the new year.

You can listen to a recording of the bells of St Giles on YouTube.
