These slots are for individuals who have never tried bell ringing before or those with very little experience of ringing!(If you are an experienced ringer who is interested in ringing in the foundry tower, please contact John Taylor and Company direct.)
To tour the bellfoundry, all visitors are required to wear flat, closed shoes.
This event is only suitable for children aged 9 and above. If you have any further queries about this event or the booking process, please contact us direct on info@loughboroughbellfoundry.org or telephone 01509 638 500.
We not only want to offer an insight into our fascinating building, but we also want to highlight the art of bellringing and why it is so important. You will experience a detailed visit to the site along with the chance to learn a new hobby, so we hope to see you there!
