Get Ringing for England in 2019 on St. George’s Day April 23rd
We are the Campaign RINGING FOR ENGLAND to celebrate – ENGLAND’s DAY, ST. GEORGE’s DAY every year on April 23rd.
We want you to listen out for bells ringing throughout the country in celebration. Our 8th year – 2018, will be a Monday so bells will be ringing all over the country to celebrate ENGLAND’s National Day. Follow us on twitter (@englandringing) and facebook (Ringing for England) to keep up to date on all that is happening.
Lots of people love the Campaign and we have had media coverage on BBC x 22 Regional Radio Shows, national and local press, The Archers, Country Life and 2015 featured on BBC The ONE Show. One of the innovations of the Campaign was to create a competition to create a ‘ROLLING RING’ by ringing from as many towers as possible within a specific area all on April 23rd. Another to encourage ‘OPEN DAYS’ to the towers on April 23rd so the public can come and try their hand at ringing.
ROLLING RING
The Campaign in the past has thrown down the challenge to all the ringers to see how many bells could be rung consecutively throughout the day. It was called a ‘ROLLING RING’. Many ringers took up the challenge enthusiastically and rang from their towers from 9 in the morning until 9 at night. Local Radio and Television stations helped them on their way.
OPEN DAYS
Also there will be OPEN DAYs at towers in cities so if you think you would like to try your hand at the ropes and take part in this special way to celebrate ENGLAND’S DAY, ST.GEORGE’s DAY then go along on APRIL 23rd and have some fun.
