National Twelve-Bell Striking Contest

It has been held annually since 1975, and is open to any tower where 12-bell ringing is practised regularly.

[1] In recent years the competition has become more regimented; it is now common practice that eliminators are held in good time before each year's final, and that all teams must qualify in the eliminators to compete in the final (with the occasional exception of teams representing host towers).

The 2006 competition was featured in the Marcus Brigstocke BBC television programme Trophy People.

[2] The final of the 2015 contest was held at St Peter Mancroft, Norwich on 27 June 2015.

The final of the 2013 National Twelve-Bell Striking Contest was held at Ripon Cathedral, North Yorkshire on Saturday 22 June.
