Bell Sunday is an annual opportunity to celebrate the contribution of bellringers to the life of the church, and to acknowledge the part that bells play in worship and community life all the year round.
Bell Sunday is always kept on a Sunday close to St Dunstan’s feast day, who is known as the patron saint of bellringers due to his experimentation in the early forging of bells in the 900s and his encouragement of the use of bells in parish churches. Today, the day is designed to raise awareness of bellringing, to emphasise the importance of the sound of bells in our communities and how it can help bring church and community together, and to strengthen relationships between church leaders and bellringers.
