Festive celebrations at the Ring O' Bells
We can't wait for the doors to be open, the trees to be up and the atmosphere to be filled with festive cheer. Join us at the Ring O' Bells this Christmas for a warm, relaxing and friendly celebration.
We'll feature some cracking Christmas guest ales that are brewed just for the season along with steaming mulled wine. Mix these with our roaring open fire, our cosy surroundings and our friendly bar team, and we really have a recipe for a fantastic first Christmas.
There'll be a lively and friendly atmosphere full of festive cheer making it the perfect place for your Christmas celebrations.
