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 at different times due to special services in the Cathedral, so email or call Rachael Houchin, if you want to be sure we are ringing (07739962049).

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: 18:20   to   19:30      (Simulated practice, phone to confirm)
19:30   to   21:00      (Open practice)

Sunday morning: 09:15   to  10:00       09:05 meet

Diary dates

This is a list of extra ringing dates and exceptions to the above times. It is not, however, exhaustive, so contact Rachael to confirm.

Looking further ahead, here's the list of special services and ringing times that's released by the Guild at the start of the year. Things can change though, so best to confirm any dates and times.
