The British Street Organ Grinders Weekend

The British Organ Grinders Association was set up in 1991 by Peter Churchard, along with a handful of British enthusiasts who decided that some kind of club was needed for hand-turned organ enthusiasts. Since those days, the British Organ Grinders’ Association has grown to over 300 members all over the world.

Avoncroft visitors will be able to enjoy the different organs playing music from a bye gone era and talk with the members and find out about the charming musical machines.

The aims of the Association are to promote an interest in street organs and mechanical music and provide an information service for members.
