The 22nd International Handbell Symposium
4th – 8th August 2026

HRGB’s plans for hosting the 2026 International Handbell Symposium at the P&J Live Conference Centre, Aberdeen, Scotland continue to move forward. 

We have now set the registration fee for the Symposium and will open registration later this year.

We are excited to be based in one of the newest convention/conference centres in the UK and are aiming to provide ringers from around the world with massed ringing and workshops that are interesting, challenging, informative and fun.

We are working with the in-house caterers to make sure that the daily lunch and dinner menus have something for everyone

We have already agreed advantageous rates (lower than current 2025 rates) for 2026 with the onsite hotels Hilton and Aloft which will be available to Symposium registrants.

Please look at the other information pages on this site for more details and come back again for future updates

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible 4th-8th August 2026.
