The organs

Summer Organ Festival 2019

Discover the Abbey’s awe-inspiring grand organ at our Summer Organ Festival this July and August.

The Abbey's magnificent five-manual Harrison & Harrison organ takes centre stage as the Summer Organ Festival returns. Hear Michel Bouvard, Isabelle Demers, Peter Holder, Matthew Jorysz and James O'Donnell bring the instrument to life at our Tuesday evening concerts and find out more about the 'king of instruments' at our Discovery events.

There really isn’t a more spectacular building to work on. It’s been one of the most gratifying and rewarding experiences of my life.
