"...bell ringing is a great hobby,
I'd advise everyone to have a go!"

What is bell ringing?

Ringing bells in the fashion we do today originated in the 17th century and the actual technique has changed little since then.

We ring by pulling a rope attached to the bell's wheel which makes it rotate and the clapper strikes the bell. The bells are rung in patterns which are called methods, these are sequences that the bells strike in. It is all very simple, and you don't need any special talents to do it!

Who does bell ringing?

With 5,000 towers all over the world and over 40,000 bell ringers in the UK, the answer is lots of people do bell ringing! And that is because it is so easy to become a bell ringer! Nearly anyone over the age of about 10 or 11 can learn to ring, that (probably) includes you!

People from all over the world and from many different backgrounds are bell ringers, some are old, some young, some musical, some mathematicians, some church goers and some none of these. Anybody can get involved. Find out why you can do it too >>>

What's in it for me?

Ringing is an excellent hobby, which is unique in giving opportunities for not only physical exercise, but also mental challenges (there is always something new to aim for and achieve), team working, musical and architectural appreciation, travel opportunities, and all this at little or no cost to you.

Bell ringing is good fun! Once you've learned the basic technique you will always be made welcome at towers all over this country and the world
