Bells of Britain!
Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes is a nationwide musical celebration.
We need you to make musical history. Help us ring all the bells in the UK on 27th July 2012 to welcome the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games.
Friday 27th July 2012 will be no ordinary morning. At 8.00am, people all across the UK will ring bells to perform Martin Creed’s Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes, a piece specially commissioned as part of the London 2012 Festival – the culmination of the four-year Cultural Olympiad.
Hand bells, door bells, bicycle bells, church bells, town hall bells, sleigh bells, cow bells, school bells, last orders bells, dinner bells… where there is a bell, we need someone to ring it!
STOP PRESS: We’ve had loads of enquiries from tower bell ringers wanting to know how they can ring with allthebells. All will be revealed if you click here.
The allthebells website lets you sign up to the ‘ringing community’ of national volunteers. There are plenty of ways to get involved - visit the website for further information.
