St Leonards Seaford practice on a Tuesday from 7.00 to 9.00 and you'd be welcome. Ditto to the Old Boot pub afterwards. PS - The Old is seasonal, so if it's remotely summer it won't be brewed!

The Norwich bellringers are huge supporters of drinking real ale in Norwich. Personally speaking forget brewing dark/black beer. Maybe we need to arrange some epic bellringing to support your events.

Bellringing so popular at St David's Cathedral that there's a waitlist for new volunteers abc.net.au/news/2023-01-2 via

Doug can't show you the ropes anymore — he's got a waitlist for new bellringers

Tower captain Doug Nichols finds himself in a "surprising" situation — from having to cancel events when one person is sick to being "flat out" teaching people the finer art of bellringing.

Across Europe it was traditional for church bells to be rung at midnight on New Year's Eve to welcome in the new year. The loud ringing was thought especially effective at seeing off any lingering bad spirits. #FolkloreSunday
