The Annual Milton Keynes Organ Festival takes place next weekend
at Milton Keynes Museum, McConnell Drive, Wolverton, Milton Keynes
MK12 5EL, England.  See http://www.mkmuseum.org.uk/  and
http://mkmuseum-events.weebly.com/organ-festival.html 

A large number of visiting fairground and street organs will attend
the festival, which will take place over two days, Saturday and Sunday,
12th and 13th October.  The festival has a relaxed atmosphere, and is
a nostalgic, interesting, low-cost event on a large site.

The museum has a Victorian parlour with a player piano and disc musical
boxes which have been repaired recently.  There is a street re-creation
with many old shops, a cinema, etc., a transport hall, telephone, radio
and lawnmower sections.  There is a nice cafe as well for a good day-out,
with free parking.

I will be there for the two days with a sales stall inside the museum,
so do come and say hello.  I will have some free copies of the Music
Box magazine available for anyone who might be interested in joining us
or simply finding out more.

And don't forget the Cotton Museum Organ Day on 6th October.
