Proudly presented in partnership with the West Sussex Organists Association. Find out more: www.wsoa.co.uk.


Registrants and page turners will be allowed for all classes except Planned Improvisation and Hymn and Worship Song.

The opportunity to practise on the organ used for the Festival will be discussed with each performer well before the performance date.

In the Planned Improvisation and Hymn and Worship Song class, performances without using pedals are acceptable.
