Ringing at Southwark Cathedral
Cathedral Society Practices
Ringers of all abilities are welcome to join us at the Cathedral Society practices, where a range of methods from rounds to Spliced Surprise may be rung on 12 bells, and afterwards in the Market Porter or the Mudlark.
Visitors are also welcome on Sunday mornings, when it is best to arrive on time as the tower door is locked by 10:30am.
Some Society practices have to be held at other towers due to other events at the Cathedral. Please see the list below for further details.
