Discover Colchester's Moot Hall Organ

Colchester Town Hall’s majestic 1902 Norman & Beard organ is at the heart of this ancient East Anglian town’s musical life, featuring in lunchtime recitals, concerts, civic ceremonies and weddings. The organ went through an extensive restoration process from 2014 thanks to funding secured by Colchester Borough Council from the Heritage Lottery Fund and fundraising by the Friends of the Moot Hall Organ. 

The Moot Hall Organ is now fully restored to the stunning piece of Colchester’s heritage that you can view and enjoy today.
