Olympic Bell Ringing

November 13, 2011 By Philippa

The newly-restored Memorial Bells have been signed up to take part in 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 to welcome the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games on 27 July 2012. Should be able to hear them in the Olympic Park.
