Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum, Specialized bagpipe museum in Morpeth, England
The Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum displays more than 120 sets of bagpipes from multiple countries, including instruments from Scotland, Spain, Italy, France, and Estonia.
Established in 1987, the museum occupies a 13th-century Grade 1 listed building that served as a toll collection point for crossing the Medieval bridge.
The museum preserves a collection originally gathered by William Alfred Cocks, presenting instruments that demonstrate the evolution of bagpipes across different regions.
Located within walking distance from Morpeth's railway and bus stations, the museum opens Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission.
The collection includes a set of bagpipes attributed to King Louis XIV of France and a miniature set created specifically for Queen Mary's Dolls' House.
