Ringing Out in Celebration of Peace

Join our World in Ringing Out in Celebration of Peace 6.30pm, 8th May 2025 Central Council of Church Bell Ringers

"Church Bell Ringers, I am honoured and proud to be part of this campaign. Bellringing marks our major life events, and each year I join many of my fellow bellringers in tolling for remembrance. It is fitting that we also ring out for peace. I encourage bellringers all over the world to join me on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, on 8th May 2025, by ringing their bells at 6.30pm local time, when we can make a joyful noise together". 

Tina Stoecklin, President of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers

The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers

The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers is the representative body for all who ring bells in the English tradition with rope and wheel. Founded in 1891, the Council today represents the affiliated members of 65 ringing societies covering all parts of the British Isles as well as centres of ringing in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, South Africa, Europe and Italy. As an organisation we work to encourage our members to demonstrate the commitment and teamwork required to promote and preserve the practice, heritage and appreciation of bell ringing, and to encourage the spread of this form of ringing worldwide.
