As Sherborne Abbey is a busy community ringing by visiting bands is severely restricted, and therefore any requests should be made in plenty of time, in writing, to the tower correspondent, who will have to liaise with the Incumbent and Parish Secretary before being able to respond.
Peals: £56.00
Quarter Peals: £20.00
Visiting Bands (E.g. Tours): £20.00
Visitors are not permitted to alter the length of ropes.
Visiting bands are responsible for arranging their own insurance.
As there is limited parking in the Abbey grounds, visiting bands are requested to use public car parks during their visit.
Several years ago the Abbey architect set an advisory limit of 25 people in the ringing chamber at any one time, so we therefore suggest that you do not exceed this number in your band.
All the peal dates for 2010 have been booked. The following dates have recently made available in 2011: 29th January, 21st May, 15th October, 26th November.
Please note that as there are only a limited number of slots available, the Peal charge will still be levied if the Peal is not completed. Exception will be made if the failure was mechanical.
