Bell Ringers Open Day 31/August Dummer 9am-9:20am
On Bank Holiday Monday 31st August, bellringers from all over Basingstoke are holding an open day (with ringing) at their towers to raise money towards the cost of restoring and augmenting the bells at Stratfield Saye.
Dummer has the honour of being the tower to start this event, the first of 29 towers open. Ringers will be arriving to register and buy day tickets from around 9am with ringing from 9.20am for about an hour.
Liz Nelson has very kindly offered parking in the pub car park but there may well also be a number of visitors parking around the Church and in adjacent roads.
Registration will take place in the Clifton Room. The ringers should have moved on by 10.30am.
The next tower is at Ellisfield so cars will mainly be leaving along Farleigh Lane but the whole area around the church here may be quite crowded for about an hour.

We’re so excited to welcome you back for Worthy Earth Festival 2026 — a small and powerful event celebrating the harvest Equinox. Set on the rolling hills of Dummer Down Farm in Hampshire, right beside our abundant market garden, we bring together an intimate blend of world-class folk and global dance music, inspiring talks and workshops in regenerative agriculture and lifestyle, storytelling, dancing, garden-to table feasting, camping and community togetherness.
New for this year is an on-site Sauna, storytelling and theatre stage, and an expanded Worthy Earth kitchen.
First LINE-UP announcements include Sheela-Na-Gig, Tarren, Flammer Dance Band, Nina Yamada, Mishra, and Tamsin Elliot Trio. We also welcome back some Worthy Earth legends including Baka Beyond, Greg Foat, Afla Sackey & Afrik Bawantu, Mishra, Owen Spafford & Louis Campbell. Our next line up announcements will be coming soon!
