Please note that we are now fully booked for exibiting instruments

We now have ten organs of different size and type expected on the day so have no more room.

Of coarse, everyone is welcome to come and look, listen and enjoy the music.

A list of organs will follow in due coarse.

There has been a slight alteration to the list of scheduled instruments.

Due to work being carried out on the organ, Phillip Upchurch is now unable to bring his 50 key Heesbeen / Marenghi.

In its place will be Robert Wichall with his 47 Key Marenghi.
