About Church Bellringing Ensemble

Church bell ringers for hire. Weddings, funerals and special occasions.

Classical ensemble

York

Public liability insurance of £10 million

We have been ringing regularly together since 2004 and have rung at chuches and cathedrals across the country and abroad. If you require bell ringers for your ceremony and the church cannot provide them, please get in touch! We ring for weddings, including the customary 'firing' of the bells in celebration. Also ring for funerals and can provide a band of ringers, or a single ringer for tolling. Will generally ring for 30 mins before and after the ceremony, with short breaks. Please ask permission from the church before booking us. Also note that churches have different numbers of bells in their towers. Many will have 6 or 8, some may only have 3. Our prices are adjusted to suit the occasion.

Church Bellringing Ensemble 's Reviews

My husband and I went to a small concert in the church this evening and we were delighted by how many folk came up to me to comment on the ringing this morning - including our priest! She had really enjoyed it....

Good to hear our bells being rung with such confidence today. Sounded really great, thank you.
