Become a member of Harps North West

You can belong to Harps North West whatever your age or playing ability, and even if you don’t play the harp at all.

Our membership categories are:  Adult, Youth and Family.

Membership gives you these benefits:

• Members’ newsletter providing information and support to members, plus a regular email update making sure members are always in the know!

• Priority booking for our tutor-led Player Workshops. (Places not filled by members are available to non-members.)

• Access to regular informal playing sessions at a community venue, arranged and supported by Harps North West. Currently, we have several playing groups meeting regularly, including a group in the South Lakes, one in the West Lakes, and another in North Cumbria.

• Informal and formal opportunities to play together. For example, sometimes Harps North West is asked by organisations to provide players at a public  informal event or formal function. These invitations are circulated to  members to take part.

• Opportunity to play in/support a public concert organised by Harps North West.

• Invitation to attend social events organised by Harps North West for members, their families and friends.

• Opportunity to hire a harp from us for a short fixed period (subject to availability) until you can buy one of your own.
