Bell ringing days
The Abbey bells can usually be heard before services and in celebration of church festivals and royal occasions.
Following the latest guidelines from the Church of England and the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, ringing at the Abbey by our volunteer bell ringers is currently suspended during the coronavirus outbreak.
See below for a list of upcoming bell ringing days, or Abbey bells for a history of bell ringing at Westminster Abbey.

You are surrounded by history at the Abbey, not like a museum where it’s just displayed, but here you are standing where history has happened.
