Haddington bell ringers ring the eight bells at St Mary’s Church, Haddington every Sunday and practice on a Friday evening at 7.30pm. Bell ringing is a fun and sociable activity. It helps keep you physically and mentally fit and is a great way to meet new people. We welcome experienced ringers who would like to join us, and provide tuition for new recruits from the age of about 12-years upwards. You need to be fit enough to climb the 68 steps up the Church tower. Get in touch to learn a new skill, make new friends, enjoy the history and heritage that goes along with bell ringing, and contribute to the wider community.
