Lytham town crier’s ‘amazing’ Repair Shop handbell restoration

Ms Redfearn was inspired to apply to the BBC show after watching a Christmas show in 2023.

“I just thought it would be nice to get the bell repaired,” she said. “So I got my phone and applied.

“They rang me and I had a couple of interviews and then about a year ago they said ‘you’re on’.”

She travelled to the barn in Chichester last February and picked the bell up the following month.

“I asked them when it would be on the telly and they said 2025 and I thought ‘that’s ages’,” she said.

“But what they did was amazing.

“I didn’t cry, but it just looked beautiful, a showpiece and so shiny.

“And they surprised me with a baldrick – made by Suzie Fletcher – a beautiful leather holster to keep it in.”

You can see the bell being repaired on The Repair Shop on BBC One on Wednesday 9 January 2025, or on the BBC iPlayer.
