FESTIV
AL!
This Festival celebrates our W
illis Pipe Organ being fully
restored after a decade of fundraising!
Pipe sponsorship
and m
usic events
have funded delightful, new additions
to the organ which gives it an unique,
full bodied
and ethereal
sound. But w
hat makes this such a special instrum
ent and this particular festival so historic? W
ell, Henry W
illis’s family
firm is to organ building w
hat Rolls-Royce is to cars. Henry
Willis organs grace buildings such as H
ereford, Lincoln and Salisbury Cathedral. The W
illis legacy is internationally know
to be without equal – crafted from
the highest quality m
aterials and boldly yet beautifully voiced, creating a delightful sound for both perform
er and listener.
This is our fourth Willis Pipe O
rgan Festival. The first three Festivals w
ere part of our fundraising programm
e for the full restoration of the organ. A total of £250,000 later, here w
e are, fully refurbished, in glorious voice and, most
importantly, com
plete for the first time ever!
With three very special evening events – organ pops,
silent movie and m
asterworks – plus free daytim
e talks, w
orkshops and recitals, there’s something for everyone
in the Festival programm
e. Bring the family and find out
more about this very special pipe organ.
