THE ever-popular Organ Prom is returning to the stunning Salisbury Cathedral this summer.

The event offers attendees the opportunity to explore the cathedral with a drink in hand whilst listening to popular classics on the organ, from Over The Rainbow and Summertime to Star Wars and Nessun Dorma.

Organ Prom will take place on August 17, from 1pm to 4pm.

An online public vote on the evening will allow people to select which music is played.

In keeping with Salisbury Cathedral’s year-long theme of water, popular classics including Handel’s Water Music, Saint-Saëns The Swan and Singin’ in the Rain are on offer on the voting page.

Other popular classical hits will include Jupiter from Holst’s The Planets, Debussy’s Clair de Lune, Nimrod from Elgar’s Enigma Variations and Barber’s Adagio, as well as Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee and Walton’s Crown Imperial.

The organists will be David Halls, the cathedral’s director of music, and John Challenger, assistant director of music.

The evening will be compered by former BBC presenter, Revd Canon Tim Daykin.

John Challenger said: “The 2025 Organ Prom is always a highlight of the annual organ series.

“The buzz of the cathedral filled with an enthusiastic audience, all sharing a mutual love for music in the beautiful surrounding of the cathedral.

“It’s just the best atmosphere. The music this year is sure to get people excited, and there might just be a few surprises sprinkled in.”
