Discover the fascinating sound of English full-circle bellringing at St Peter’s Church, where a historic ring of eight bells has called the faithful to worship since 1892.
The bells at St Peter’s provide an important home for The Ballarat Bellringers, and a place where new generations of ringers learn this remarkable musical and physical art. Hear the ringers demonstrate the extraordinary coordination involved in ringing the bells, creating intricate patterns and rhythms from the movement of the bells high above the church.
With its combination of music, mathematics, history and community, bellringing is a centuries-old tradition that remains very much alive. Come inside St Peter’s and experience these magnificent bells in action.
