Ever pondered over the complexities of bell manufacture and hanging? A simple internet search will help you find your nearest bell foundry or bell hanging workshop. Pluck up the courage to invite a group of bell ringing friends on an organised visit to the ‘bell company’ of your choice. If your friends knock you back, just move on and ask other friends. There are plenty of bell ringing fish the sea.

Such a visit could be included as part of a ringing outing, or if you feel in danger of being consumed by all things ‘bells’, turn the visit into a longer day and perhaps take in another local attraction, go out for a meal or attend an evening show!

Booking in advance is essential as foundries are working environments. If you can visit when bells are being cast that will make the occasion very special
