Organs were the soundtrack of the fairground, and the music makers are still a thrill for those who remember the charming machines from their youth.
The festival is also a fine opportunity to show visiting youngsters the magic to be found – and heard - with the mechanical players.
From petite music boxes to fairground centre-of-attractions, the Museum will be dancing to a decidedly different tune at this celebration of organs great and small.
Some of the beautiful machines have been purpose built to continue the tradition, and their creators will be on hand, so there's the chance to talk to the makers and restorers.
Hear the historic organs playing just as they used to back when youngsters would have soaked up all the fun of the fair with its toffee apples, hoopla and thrilling rides.
Pay once and visit for free all year. Under 5s go free.
Pre-book in advance or turn up on the day. No pre-booking required for annual ticket holders.
