Durham Cathedral

DCGBR ring at the times listed below. We are always very pleased to have visiting ringers, for practices and service ringing; anybody of any standard is more than welcome to join us for our practice nights.

Sometimes, though, we ring quarter peals for evensong and hold our practices elsewhere due to special services in the Cathedral, so email or call me, Brian Spurling, if you want to be sure we are ringing (07706997049.)

It can take up to ten minutes to climb the tower, depending how keen and fit you're feeling, so we always unlock the door ten minutes early to give people time.


Thursday practice night: 19:30   to  21:00
Sunday morning: 09:15   to  10:00
Sunday evensong: 14:30   to  15:30
