Durham Cathedral's bells are a demanding ring of ten, but the effects are glorious!
The sound of the bells pealing out from the 200 foot tower, echoing around the river and across the valley, is truly wonderful.
The Durham Cathedral Guild of Bellringers is the organisation responsible for ringing the bells in Durham Cathedral.
Some members are very experienced and others less so. New members are always welcome with or without experience. Training can be given. The Guild is always keen to welcome visiting bell ringers.
Practices take place on Thursday evenings 7.30pm - 9pm
Service ringing is on Sundays:
Please see the Durham Bell Ringers website for more information.
The belfry is open to the public on the last Saturday in October from 1.30pm - 4pm. You can visit the ringing chamber, the belfry and to see demonstrations.
