Winchester & Portsmouth Diocesan Guild
Alton & Petersfield District
FUNDRAISING “TOWER OPEN DAY”
Saturday 30th September 2023
Come and enjoy a day out in the beautiful Hampshire countryside!
With 24 Towers situated in the South Downs National Park and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ringing in the Alton & Petersfield District is a special treat!
- Recently augmented, restored and rarely available Towers!
- Refreshments (bacon rolls/lunches/afternoon tea) served throughout the day.
- All Towers manned with local ringers, so ringing can always take place on the full set of bells.
Share the day with non-ringing friends, who can enjoy shopping in the lovely market towns of Alton or Petersfield, visiting Jane Austen’s house at Chawton or The Wakes Museum (Gilbert White’s house) at Selborne…..or even a trip on the Watercress Line Steam Railway!
This Fundraising Open Day is being held to support the efforts to re-hang the bells at nearby Ropley, where a devastating fire destroyed the church and bell tower in 2014. Fundraising to re-hang the bells is still ongoing after nearly 10 years…..so if you only support one Tower Open Day this year, make it this one!
