The Mighty Wurlitzer

Folly Farm is now housing one of the UK's finest theatre organs in an impressive display above the entrance to the Follies Theatre and it plays to the public at certain times throughout the day to keep the wonderful sound of the theatre organ alive for future generations.

A little history...

Paul Kirner, of Compton Lodge, Sapcote, Leicestershire, who purchased the Wurlitzer from the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust, has provided the organ to Folly Farm on long term loan. It was installed and will be maintained by Ben Snowdon.  It was previously on display at the Gaumont Theatre, Manchester and was installed at the Granada Studios in Manchester for a number of years.

PLEASE NOTE: Check the daily timetable on entry for The Mighty Wurlitzer performance times.
