Join us for an inspiring evening of music as The Hiking Organist arrives at the beautiful St Mary's Church, Sand Hutton, on an extraordinary six-day, 104-mile musical pilgrimage across Yorkshire.

Alexander Woodrow, Organist of Leeds Minster, is walking from Leeds to Scarborough along the White Rose Way, giving six organ recitals in churches en route. Every mile walked and every note performed helps raise funds for the Leeds Minster Choral Scholarship Programme, nurturing the next generation of young musicians, while also supporting the churches welcoming him on his journey.


This exciting 50-minute recital features some of the greatest works in the organ repertoire, including J.S. Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, C.M. Widor's brilliant Toccata from Symphonie V, together with music by S.S. Wesley, Mendelssohn and Vierne.


Whether you're an organ enthusiast, a lover of classical music, or simply want to support a unique Yorkshire fundraising challenge, this promises to be a memorable evening in the welcoming surroundings of St Mary's Church.


Admission is free, with a cash retiring collection shared equally between the Leeds Minster Choral Scholarship Programme and the mission and ministry of St Mary's Church, Sand Hutton.


Refreshments will be served after the concert, providing an opportunity to meet Alexander and hear more about his remarkable journey.


6 Days • 104 Miles • 6 Recitals
