‘The sheer impact on the listener is unforgettable.’
Stephen Bicknell

The Grand Organ Festival returns with another thrilling line-up for the 2025 season. The concerts will take place at 7.30pm on Wednesdays 17 September, 24 September, 1 October, and 8 October.

The Grand Organ of Westminster Cathedral is considered by many to be the greatest achievement and crowning glory of Henry Willis III, one of England’s finest organ builders. Each year, some of the world’s most distinguished and talented organists are invited to give headline recitals as part of our Grand Organ Festival.

Tickets are £15 (£12 concessions) and are available on the door.
