15th August 2026
Discounted ‘Earlybird’ tickets are now available for the 2026 LEBRF Open Day, this year hosted by the Devizes Branch.
All are welcome at our annual tower open day in aid of the Guild’s Llewellyn Edwards Bell Restoration Fund. The 2026 day will be hosted by towers in the Devizes branch and includes some towers rarely available for ringing.
Our LEBRF Open Days can attract “tower-grabbers” from across the country whose goal is to ring at as many full-circle towers as possible, as well as being a fun day out for ringers closer to home.
If you’ve never been on a “tower-grab” day I’d strongly recommend it. It’s the best chance we have to experience a wide range of towers and bells – we ring whatever the ringers who’ve turned up at any one time are comfortable with, so don’t think it’s just for the ‘experts’!
It’s also a great excuse to spend a day travelling round the glorious Wiltshire countryside visiting some really lovely and interesting churches.
Below is a list of the confirmed towers and timings.
£2 a tower, Day Tickets will be available at the first few towers for £25 but Day Tickets ordered in advance using the form below cost just £20.
Many thanks for your support.
