Part of the Willis Pipe Organ Festival at St Mary & St Giles Church. Your chance to try playing a wonderfully restored Victorian pipe organ and see the church architecture which helps shape the sound of the music you make.

Free event - no need to book, just drop in. Donations to the Organ Maintenance Fund are welcome. Cake, coffee and tea available.

Drop in during this time and let our organ guides give you a close look at the newly-restored Willis Pipe Organ. Put your hands on the keys, feet on the pedals and feel its power for yourself. Players bring some music and we can help you register the organ for you to play it.

Budding organists and pianists of all ages - please bring your favourite sheet music to try on the pipe organ. The organ console is in the gallery which is reached by stairs. You are also welcome to have a closer look at the organ if you don’t play a musical instrument; this is your chance to be inquisitive.

An exhibition about this pipe organ and the architecture of the church will be on display.
