The Ringing World National Youth Contest

On Saturday 5 July 2025, our bellringing friends in Birmingham hosted the Ringing World’s National Youth Contest. The chief organiser was Founders' Freeman Simon Linford. The event was a runaway success.

RWNYC is sponsored by the Master and his Consort,  Alan and Kathryn Hughes; The Westley Group (Tom Westley); the Company;  and several other City Livery Companies. This is an important and much valued relationship, which invests in the future of our heritage performing art.
