Where do we ring?
MUGCR rings at a number of towers in and around Manchester. The guild's home tower in Sacred Trinity in Salford, where two practices a month are held. We are also active in South Manchester, attending the weekly practice at Holy Innocents in Fallowfield, and some guild members also attend the weekly practice at St. James in Didsbury.

As a predominantly student guild, the two main practices only operate during the three academic term periods, when the students are at the Universities. However, the St. James practice runs all year round.
Members of the guild can sometimes be found ringing at the Cathedral in the city centre, and a strong showing at the annual Town Hall open practice in Holy Week is a long-standing tradition.
