Cathedral Bells Ring Out For Platinum Jubilee

All twelve of the Cathedral’s bells will ring out across the city on Saturday 4th June as we attempt a full peal. Peals on twelve bells last approx. three and a half hours and require concentration throughout from the bell ringers.  Peals are usually rung for special occasions, and none so more deserving than this one.

Ringing starts at about 9.00am and due to finish around 1.30-2.00pm.
