How about this for a holiday with a difference? Learn to Bell Ring - Campanology Holiday in North Wales with Warner Leisure Hotels.
Music that rings a bell. Have you ever listened to the wonderful sounds of church bells ringing and thought that you would love to try your hand at that? Well, now you can.
Absolutely no experience is needed as expert, Dr Kevin Mason, shows you the ropes and explains the ins and outs (or is it ups and downs?) of bell ringing. You'll practice in the lovely Victorian Marble Church of St Margaret in Bodelwyddan. The church, built between 1856 and 1859, has a fine set of eight bells, and your expert tutor will explain the different sorts of ringing patterns involved in change-ringing and you’ll be given a demonstration of the differences between how a wedding, church service and other events are marked.
You’ll then be encouraged to pull the ropes yourself; and if you find you are making good progress you can then go on to visit other bell towers in the locality. In addition, you will enjoy a tour of St Asaph Cathedral at St Asaph. The course takes place over three days, including several evening sessions.We do hope you’ll go away with the confidence in your campanological skills to check out your own local bell ringing groups with a view to joining their ranks. You’ll find they are usually very sociable groups where visiting other churches (by way of their neighbouring hostelry!) is a regular activity.
