Month: June 2024

One the weekend of 29th-30th June 2024, the Hurst tower arranged for a mobile belfry to be set up as one of the attractions at the Hurst Show.

The mobile belfry was erected on the Saturday morning, and then attended and rung by various ringers from nearby towers, who provided information and assistance to members of the public, including training for members of the public wishing to have a go at ringing.

The event was a great success with many people providing feedback, and several people registered their interest in learning to ring, including two for Hurst tower.

On the 15th June 2024 the band participated in The Walnuts with Bells On, a local charity event raising funds for Alzheimer’s research and also funds to support St Nicholas Church.

The event started at The Castle Inn with pizza and drinks to the sound of the fiddle. Then we rang the bells starting at 7pm to call people across to the church ready for the main event at 7:30, a summer’s evening of Celtic Funk, Folk and Americana, topped up with fun and games, with bells on, featuring local folk band The Walnuts.
