Restricted Ringing

As Sherborne Abbey is a busy community ringing by visiting bands is severely restricted, and therefore any requests should be made in plenty of time, in writing, to the tower correspondent, who will have to liaise with the Incumbent and Parish Secretary before being able to respond.

Charges

Peals: £56.00

Quarter Peals: £20.00

Visiting Bands (E.g. Tours): £20.00

Conditions of Ringing

Visitors are not permitted to alter the length of ropes.

Visiting bands are responsible for arranging their own insurance.

As there is limited parking in the Abbey grounds, visiting bands are requested to use public car parks during their visit.

Several years ago the Abbey architect set an advisory limit of 25 people in the ringing chamber at any one time, so we therefore suggest that you do not exceed this number in your band.

Available Peal Dates

We currently have no Peal dates available in 2008.. So please contact the tower correspondent if you wish to arrange a peal.
