Welcome
Welcome to Handbell Ringers of Great Britain
HRGB is a Registered Charity No: 298945 (England and Wales) SCO38918 (Scotland)
The aim of the Society, which was formed in 1967, is "To advance, provide and encourage for the public benefit the art of handbell tune ringing in all its forms"
We offer our members a wide range of activities and music designed to show the many aspects of handbell tune ringing. We are a member of the National Federation of Music Societies (Making Music)
Handbells are one of the world's oldest instruments yet the handbells used today are sophisticated precision instruments which produce a beautifully rich sound. They are very much a visual instrument too as audiences enjoy the synchronised movement of the shining handbells.
