The YACR is one of the largest ringing associations in the country – the largest geographically and one of the larger in terms of the number of members. More than 350 of our churches have four or more bells hung for full-circle ringing, and our bell repair fund (BRF) is available to help enthusiastic communities restore and augment existing rings and create new ones. The Association is divided into nine branches and also has a very active Young Ringers group. You can find out all about each group’s activities by clicking on the links for each area above. We also have a proud tradition of peal ringing, and records of these peals, dating back to the earliest in 1875, can be found on this website. We hope that you will find this website helpful, whether you are already a member of the YACR, whether you haven’t yet learned to ring, whether you are an existing ringer who is visiting the area or would like to join us, or if you are simply looking for more information about ringing. |

ART Conference 2025 – join us in York! You are invited to join us for the 2025 ART Conference which is being held over the weekend of 15 and 16 March in York. The ART Annual Conference is an inspiring and enjoyable weekend, with leading speakers sharing best practice from their ringing as well as ideas from other activities and professions. It’s not about ART, it’s about ringing – sharing what other people are doing and talking about topical subjects. The focus of the 2025 conference is leadership and features a varied programme of presentations and workshops held at the conference centre and in local towers. The conference is open to all ringers, irrespective of ART membership or even if they are an ART supporter or sceptic. If you are interested in spending a day (or even two) getting new ideas and talking to like-minded ringers, please join us in York on 15/16 March 2025 – together we can make a difference. The full programme and details of speakers is available at https://bellringing.org/art-conference/. You can book your place at: https://events.bellringing.org/en/conferences
