Experience the power and pageantry of traditional Scottish music

Lotherton Hall is hosting the North of England Pipe Band Competition!

This exciting event will bring together talented bagpipers and drummers from across the North of England and further afield, filling the estate with the unmistakable sound of pipes, drums, and stirring medleys that echo across the grounds.

Audiences can look forward to a spine‑tingling showcase of musical skill, precision, and showmanship, with competing bands performing in full Highland dress. From the thunder of the drums to the soaring rise of the pipes, it promises to be an unforgettable spectacle set against the beautiful backdrop of Lotherton’s historic estate.

Whether you’re a long‑time fan or simply curious, this is a brilliant day out for families, music lovers, and anyone who enjoys a bit of kilt‑wearing flair.
