Updated 23rd July 2020
There is currently no "open" ringing at Llandaff Cathedral due to the CoVid-19 situation. There are no weekly practices, and no ringing for Sunday Services. We cannot accommodate visitors or visiting bands for the time being.

There are, however, Sunday Services in the Cathedral and we will be "chiming" rather than ringing for at least one of these Services.

The tower is not open for access except in consultation with the Tower Captain. This is to help ensure the safety of our chimers and Cathedral staff.
