Photo of The Piping Experience The Piping Experience "I booked our piper from Here in Spain and was guided through the process by Matthew. He put me in contact with Piper Michael who arrived exactly at 2.00pm as requested to play for my Scottish sister-in-law Marion who is bed bound with multiple sclerosis . She was absolutely and utterly thrilled ! I would absolutely recommend this organisation ! Thank you all!" Based in London, England (54 miles from Chichester) Joy Heath - 70th birthday celebration Photo of Simon Addison Highland Piper Simon Addison Highland Piper "Hands-down, Simon is possibly the finest piper I have ever booked for a funeral service. Not only is he an excellent piper, he is also reliable, immaculately turned out and a pleasure to deal with and he is our first choice for a funeral piper in Herefordshire."

He was a fantastic addition to our wedding day and we are so glad that he was able to be with us. With clear communication and quick responses from first contact through to the day itself he was always very friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his range of music was fab. The added bonus of the pipers toast after being piped into our wedding breakfast was very special and a lovely touch. We would absolutely recommend Stevie to anyone even considering having bagpipes at their event!" Based in Bedlington, England (299 miles from Chichester) Rory Maclagan - Wedding April 2023

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring bagpipers is £180, with prices ranging from £130 to £320+. 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.
