About this event
Music!, the Northumbrian Pipes weekend, is part of the 2026 programme at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland.
The Duke's Piper plays through the castle, picking up a connection between Alnwick and the Northumbrian smallpipes that goes back three hundred years. The music moves around the site, so you come across it rather than sit down to it.
What to expect:
- Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October, from 10.30am
- "Free with admission at intervals throughout the day"
- "Enjoy the sounds of traditional Northumbrian Pipes while discovering the history of Alnwick Castle"
- "Uncover the fascinating 300 year connection between Alnwick Castle and the Northumbrian Pipes"
- Playing at intervals rather than as a seated concert, so it fits around a normal visit
- Heritage Craft Day runs on the Saturday, so the 17th carries both
- The castle's daily activities - jester, falconry, archery, broomstick training - run alongside
