Handbell History Event

This Saturday (1st March 2025) from 2pm, Cliffe Castle is hosting a talk on the history of handbell ringing, with demonstration and the opportunity to take part, as part of the Season of Music organised by the Cliffe Castle Support Group.

“In the late 19th and early 20th centuries tune ringing on hand bells was extremely popular across the industrial towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire. Teams played with large sets of bells, often upwards of 150 bells per team.”

To book a free place, ring 01535 618231 or email cliffe.castle@bradford.gov.uk or call to the museum and book in person.
