Oak Apple Day gets its name from when Charles II hid in an oak tree from Parliamentarian troops following the loss of his Royalist cause at the Battle of Worcester.
Nine years after this incident, he was returned to the throne.
A spokesperson for Worcester Cathedral said: "The Cathedral bellringers will be in action today from 10am to 2pm for Oak Apple Day, the anniversary of Charles II's restoration to the monarchy in 1660."
