50 Virtual Ringing Things

Explore the world of bellringing away from the tower

Welcome to 50 Virtual Ringing Things. The place to explore the world of virtual ringing and the many different activities that hook fellow ringers into this absorbing hobby.

The challenges are divided into 4 categories:

  • Simulator software – developing your ringing on your own
  • Online ringing – progressing your ringing with others
  • Handbells – learning with simulator software, online or handbells
  • Tail ends – exploring the wider world of bells and bellringing


The scheme is for those who are new to ringing in the virtual world, however we are sure that just like the original 50 Ringing Things there will be competitions between experienced virtual ringers to see who will be the first to get their Gold certificate.

To start collecting, register for 50 Virtual Ringing Things on the online learning portal.

Start your virtual challenges

Sample virtual challenges...

On a smartphone, mp3 player or a tablet, you can learn, practise and even ring extended touches of your chosen method.

Why not ask someone from your local association or band to present on something that will be suitable for your ringing ability.

Invite a non-ringing friend to join a virtual practice that you run and you can choose which challenge to tick off.

Connect with others taking the challenge
