Diss, Norfolk 11th May

11th May 2025

A free day of music and entertainment in Diss Town Centre and Park

This popular one-day event, which brings Mechanical Music to the historic town of Diss in Norfolk, is returning on the 11th May 2025. Attracting over forty organ owners and thousands of members of the public to a street and parkland setting, the event relies heavily on the support of Diss Town Council, South Norfolk District Council and numerous local businesses to make it happen.

Back by popular demand, the largest event of its kind in the UK. The Diss Organ Festival will return to this picturesque Norfolk market town in 2025.

From famous British fairground organs, magnificent mobile concert instruments to beautiful Dutch street organs, the highways and byways of Diss, along with its popular Park, will be alive with the joyful sound of over 50 mechanical music machines. Also musical boxes in the Corn Hall and hand turned instruments in Cobbs Yard.

The Park will have a display of vintage vehicles with veteran traction engines in steam, and the Theatre Organ Club will be staging a nostalgic 1920s silent movie to dramatic organ accompaniment, recreating the early cinema before soundtracks were incorporated in the film.
