The Whanganui Regional Museum is pleased to announce the first event in its 2023 Spring Lecture Series.

Revisiting a popular talk that has received many requests for repeat, Whanganui historian Scott Flutey will speak about the bells of Whanganui. “Whanganui has an unusually high number of bells, used over time as instruments, and signals, and for worship.”

The talk will include a brief history and summary of bells in Whanganui, an introduction to bellringing, and Scott’s own development as a bellringer, or campanologist. Campanology is the study, theory, and art of ringing bells.
