Due to a mechanical fault in the All Saints Church clock, Birchington Silver Band will be providing the 'hourly chimes' from the Square every Saturday in April 🕰️
Our bass section will be taking shifts to strike a low G every hour on the hour. We apologize for any confusion during the 12-bell marathon at noon 🔔
