Have a go on 12 bells at Rotherham Minster
Have a go on 12 bells at Rotherham Minster!
Given the success of the last two “have a go on 10 bells” sessions, I’ve booked Rotherham minster for people to “have a go on 12 bells”. Like the previous events, we will mainly be ringing rounds, call changes and plain hunt.
Date: Saturday 12 October 2024
Time: 2:30pm to 4:30pm
Location: Rotherham minster
Car parking: Drummond Street car park has free parking all weekend. It is then a 5-10 minute walk to the Minster.
So if anyone would like to try ringing on 12 then please do come along. The event is not run by any particular guild or district. It is just organised to suit travelling/location.
This will be the last “have a go” event for 2024. No decision has been made on whether to rerun them in 2025 yet. Depends if people enjoy them and want them run again.
Any queries, let me know.

The work to add a kitchen and toilet beneath the ringing room has been completed. Practices will resume on Wednesday 24th July 2024.
