The Bagpipe Society
Promoting the bagpipe revival in Britain and beyondÂ

across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East since at least medieval
times.

Bagpipe Guide
Check out our bagpipe guide to find out more about the many bagpipes played in Britain today.
The Bagpipe Society was formed in 1986 to bring together players, makers, researchers and people who love the bagpipes.
Our aims are:-
- to encourage more people to take up the bagpipes
- to help players share tunes and techniques
- to help beginners find expert tuition
- to inform people about the diversity of bagpipes played today
- to inform people about the social and cultural history of this important folk instrument
- to encourage research into all aspects of piping
- to help people make their own pipes
- to help foster better cultural understanding through an appreciation of the many and varied piping traditions of the world
