Durham University Society of Change Ringers

The Durham University Society of Change Ringers was founded in 1959 and originally existed alongside the Durham College Society until they merged in the 1960s.

The Society practices on Wednesday nights at St. Brandon’s Church, Brancepeth, from 19:30 to 21:00, and rings there for Sunday service each week during term time. Brancepeth is a short drive from Durham and is easily accessible by public transport. We also regularly ring at other towers in Durham and the surrounding area both for practice nights and for quarter peal attempts. We welcome ringers of all standards, including complete beginners, whom we are happy to teach. We organise transport to Brancepeth from Durham – to attend a practice please contact the Master.

The Society goes on termly tours, holds regular socials, and can often be found in the pub after (and/or before) ringing. We also host the annual DUSCR dinner where past and present members of the society get together for a tour and black-tie dinner.
