Welcome to the Mirfield Piano Walk, a unique free piano concert.
Experience the harmony of classical piano music and Yorkshire charm at the Mirfield Piano Walk, a unique free, walking, cultural and musical event where live performances transform everyday spaces into concert venues.
On Sunday, 17 May 2026, follow the path of this music trail through Mirfield and discover talented pianists, including finalists of the Channel 4 series ‘The Piano’, playing in a variety of historical buildings and other unexpected locations.
Each venue offers a distinct atmosphere, and every pianist brings their own voice creating an afternoon filled with live piano performances, conversation, and community spirit.
Whether you’re a local resident, a music enthusiast, or simply curious, this West Yorkshire event welcomes everyone. Admission is free—your applause is your ticket.
Inspired by the “Pianowandeling” in Edam, Netherlands
Like its very successful Dutch counterpart, the Mirfield Piano Walk brings music into public spaces, connecting people and turning the ordinary into something unforgettable.
The organizers hope to establish this as an annual celebration of local and international piano talent, inviting audiences to experience classical music for free in new and surprising ways.
Our Mission: Cultural Enrichment | Community Engagement | Talent Development
Cultural Enrichment
We transform locations across Mirfield for this cultural family-friendly event. Churches, shops, the Mirfield fire station, and other unexpected venues will become informal concert halls. By bringing music into the fabric of daily life, we encourage unexpected encounters with culture and foster a wider appreciation for classical music.
Community Engagement
The Mirfield Piano Walk is accessible to all—residents, visitors, seasoned concert goers, and first-time listeners. Performers and audiences connect in informal settings, creating a shared cultural experience rooted in Mirfield.
Talent Development
The Mirfield Piano Walk welcomes a broad spectrum of performers, from talented young amateurs (ABR 6+) to conservatory-level musicians and professional soloists. To further support emerging talent, we’ve introduced a competition component. For more information, see our competition page.
