Saltaire URC 

Bell Ringers

 

 

 

Saltaire URC has been successful in obtaining a substantial grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for repair work which may disrupt ringing from time to time so please check the notices below for the latest information.

 

Practice night - Monday

 

We practice every Monday from 7 pm to 8.30 pm. Practices are now back to normal following a short suspension caused by the renovation works.

 

Simulator Practices

 

Saltaire has a simulator which allows the bells to be rung without any sound being heard outside the tower. We hold a simulator practice on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month (but simulator practices are temporarily suspended during the renovations - Monday Practices as normal) between 11.30 and 1.30 followed by lunch, please bring your own sandwiches. Just come along if you would like to take part. A small charge to cover heating, use of the bells and hot drinks, will be made.
