2nd August 2026

  • DYR Meeting

    2nd August 2026 @ 1:45 pm - 3:30 pm
    Sutton Scarsdale & Bolsover

    The next practice will be on Sunday, August 2nd. We will be at Sutton Scarsdale (S44 5UR), a ground floor 7-3-10cwt ring of four bells, from 1:45pm until 2:15pm. We then move down the road to Bolsover (S44 6HB), a 14-3-1cwt ring of eight, from 2:30pm until 3:30pm. These are two towers the DYR have not visited before and we would love for you all to join us!

    Sutton Scarsdale Church is next to the ruined Sutton Scarsdale Hall so you may wish to arrive early to explore. Bolsover has an amazing [English Heritage] Castle, last entry 4:30pm.

    Please bring a tower donation of £1 for each tower. 

    For young ringers (you need to be able to ring rounds unaccompanied - otherwise bring a 'minder' - they just might get a ring too! We also ring more advanced things). Just turn up at a practice or contact dyr@derbyda.org.uk.
