Stockport Wurlitzer Due to water ingress into the Main Pipe Chamber of the Wurlitzer Organ in Stockport Town Hall in the last year, Concerts and Events in the ballroom have been cancelled until repairs have been completed Update With the co-operation and support of Stockport MBC, extensive work has now commenced on repairing the roof above the organ chamber. This will take us into the beginning of 2027. On completion of this work, which includes repairing the plasterwork inside the chamber, work will then start on repairing the damaged organ components caused by water ingress.

Wurlitzer 4/20 - Opus 1- Originally installed in the Paramount Theatre, Manchester in 1934. Following the closure of the Theatre in 1975, the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust successfully acquired the organ and installed it in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, opening in 1977. The Free Trade Hall closed for redevelopment and the organ was again on the move - This time to the ballroom of Stockport Town Hall where it was opened in November 1999. The organ is used regularly, and is acknowledged as one of the finest installation world wide.
