Ringing at Hexham Abbey in 2012 Last updated :24/01/2012 15:48

T

his calendar records the bookings that have been made for the use of the bells, plus some other events. It includes normal service ringing, practice nights, weddings, quarter peals, peals, visiting bands, etc. It may be useful to those who have made a booking to check that we have recorded it, or to those who would like to make a booking to check to see when the bells might be available. It is intended as a guide only. All bookings should be made through the tower secretary (or the tower captain when he is away), who checks the availability of the bells with the Parish Office and ensures that bookings are also put into the Abbey diary.

We try to ensure that this web version of our booking record is updated regularly. We take bookings up to a year in advance. For peals we would prefer to take only one booking at a time.

Clive Moon, Tower Captain.

Booking enquiries

To enquire about making a booking for the bells, please contact the tower secretary, John Snook: john.snook1@btinternet.com

* In the absence of the tower secretary please contact Clive Moon: clivemoon555@btinternet.com
