Step 1: Check availability - use the calendar below to check what dates and times are available.

Step 2: Submit Your Booking Enquiry - once you’ve found a free slot, click the + symbol next your preferred date & fill in the form. Make sure you include enough time for setting up & clearing away in your requested hours. If you have previously booked with us before, you will need to log on with your email and password; if this is your first time you will need to register your email address and create a password.

There is a 15-minute buffer between bookings to allow hirers time to leave, so you will not be able to book immediately after or before another booking.  

Step 3: We’ll Get Back to You - The Merry Bells is run by volunteers so please allow 3 working days, (excluding weekends), for a response. We will check your booking, then email you with your invoice and/or any follow-up questions.
