Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring bagpipers is €220, with prices ranging from €150 to €390+. Rates vary depending on the length of the performance, travel distance and whether the booking includes ceremonial piping, background music or both. Many pipers also offer options such as traditional Highland dress or specific tune requests.

Many clients book bagpipers for weddings, Burns Night celebrations, funerals, corporate events, graduation ceremonies and sporting occasions. A piper can provide a dramatic entrance for the bride, pipe in the haggis at a Burns supper or add a sense of ceremony to formal events.

Most bagpipers perform for 30 minutes to one hour, though this varies depending on the event. Bagpiping is physically demanding, so sets are typically shorter than those of other musicians. Many pipers can perform at several points during an event rather than in one continuous set.

Most bagpipers are happy to perform both indoors and outdoors. However, bagpipes are naturally very loud, so indoor performances may be more suitable in larger spaces such as halls, marquees or churches. It is worth discussing the venue with the piper to ensure the volume is appropriate for the setting.
