April 1st 2012 (no it's not an April Fool's) marks a landmark in the history of our Society as we become a fully registered charity.

Our Chairman Andrew Davison said "My personal thanks to everyone who has put so much effort and thought into this over a very long period of time – long before I became Chairman.

I am sure that we will find things we did not expect – both good and challenging – but the benefits that have been set out in various documents in the past have now been secured.

From today, the NPS enters a new chapter and I very much look forward to exploring with you what can be achieved in the further promotion of our objectives."

Welcome to website of the Northumbrian Pipers' Society. The NPS was established in 1928 to promote the indigenous bagpipes of the North-East of England - the Northumbrian Smallpipes and the Half-long or Border pipes.  Since then these instruments have achieved great popularity, both in their home region and around the world. Today's Society continues to encourage the playing, making, study and development of the Northumbrian pipes and their music.

On this site you can find information on the Pipes, the Music and the Society. We have listings of not only Society events, but many other piping events on around the world.  See our What's On section for Local Groups, Sessions, Concerts and Workshops.
