After the huge success of our third festival, we're already looking at 2026.

Before we get into detailed work with that - we'll definitely Pop-Up in November again.

Our November Pop-Up Piano festival brings you two very different but equally enticing evening shows!

And, now spread over two days (due to popular demand!), you can listen, free of charge, to some very talented amateurs playing the Steinway at St Laurenceโ€™s - with professional pianists now closing each dayโ€™s sessions with a bang !

More brilliant music to brighten up some wintry nights and days - all brought to you by the Ludlow Piano Festival team !
This is just a teaser to get you ready and ensure you don't do a silly like book something else in your diary.

We just need to sign a couple more bits of paper, Steve needs to do geekery on systems and we'll be ready to issue the full programme, open ticket sales and expressions of interest in Open Piano later this month.

More soon! Enjoy the sun whilst it's with us (in some parts of the country...)

๐Ÿ“ฃ If you were able to join us for one or more of our fabulous events, would you mind leaving us a short review? A couple of lines is fine. It's important as we grow our reputation, nationally and internationally, that we can show evidence our increasing customer base are really enjoying what we do. This in turn gives us more influence in booking future artists.

๐Ÿ™ Thank you!

โ—๏ธFive days. Sixteen events. Three venues. Two Community Pianos. Sold out events. And an incredible 2200+ tickets sold....

What a fabulous five days of music making we have just enjoyed during the record-breaking third Ludlow Piano Festival.

The exquisite playing of the rising young star Alim Beisembayev, the powerful playing of the much-loved Peter Donohoe, the warmth and energy of Joanna MacGregor, the wit and precision of Tyler Hay, the beautiful and unusual programmes lovingly put together by Clare Hammond and Lana Bode and Jonathan Powell and the brilliance and promise of our young artist and masterclass pupils.

In addition, the bravery and laughter (and surprisingly excellent playing) of our celebrities (hosted by the delightfully quick-witted Cally Beaton) and the breathtaking silent movie morning, the hugely enjoyable jazz from Joe Thompson and the unforgettable Planets duet and the moving Wolf Hall and Satie shows and the inspirational Sheila Hancock interviewed by Alistair McGowanโ€ฆ

Will we ever match it?! (Yes.....)

And we loved hearing so many talented Ludlow residents and visitors playing our two community pianos, seeing people enjoying the town and its cafes, restaurants, delis and shops - all in the name of the Piano.

The feedback on social media, by email and in person has been incredible, We're not going to repeat it all here (after all, we're about pianos, not blowing our own trumpet ๐Ÿคฃ) but clearly - we got it right. And we're delighted you were so pleased.

Thank you all for coming along. We canโ€™t do it if you donโ€™t.

If only we could do it every month!

๐ŸŽน The ever wonderful Tyler Hay New in the timeless surroundings of The Space at St Laurences closed Ludlow Piano Festival 2025 as only he could.

โค๏ธ Superlative playing, popular classics and all with seemingly effortless and interesting chat. Tyler is truly unique - a crafted musician with the ability to really connect with an appreciative audience.

๐Ÿ™ Thank you Tyler - we look forward to seeing you again.

๐Ÿ‘€ And stay tuned folks. Weโ€™re having a little breather - but weโ€™ve got something up our sleeveโ€ฆโ€ฆ..

200 people.

Not a sound. Not a pin dropping.

Anton Lesser reads as Thomas More to give goose bump inducing gravitas to Debbie Wisemanโ€™s music of Wolf Hall.

Spell binding stuff.
