Before the celebrations get underway, listen out for the sound of the bells! At 9.30 am on Saturday morning, the Settle bell ringing team will ring a peal to officially open the RailFest weekend, filling the air with a traditional welcome to what promises to be a fantastic event.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to ring church bells? Perhaps you’ve fancied having a go or simply wanted to find out how it all works. This is your chance!
Tower tours will be available at 11.00 am and 1.00 pm, giving you the opportunity to climb the tower, meet our friendly bell-ringers, and discover the fascinating art and history of bell ringing. Places are limited, so be sure to sign up on the day.
Whether you’re curious about becoming a bellringer or just want to enjoy a behind-the-scenes experience, we’d love to welcome you. We look forward to seeing you there
