National 12-bell Striking Contest
If you happen to be visiting the Capital on Saturday 27th March, you will have the opportunity to hear bellringing at its very best. 21 teams of 12 ringers will battle it out to qualify for the final of the National 12-bell Striking Contest and the competition will be fierce.
The eliminators take place at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, WC2N 4JJ , St. Magnus the Martyr, Lower Thames St, EC3R 6DN and St. Leonard’s Shoreditch, Shoreditch High Street, N1 6NN . Each one has an historic bell tower, yet each one has had a new ring of bells installed recently. So why not pop along to hear some excellent ringing and be inspired. Full details appear on the attached press release received from the contest organisers.
