WOOFYT: Explore the Science of Music

Build, Play and Discover: The Science of the Organ

Featuring WOOFYT

Ever wondered how an organ creates its powerful sound?

Join us for a hands-on family experience exploring the science, technology and creativity behind one of the world’s most remarkable musical instruments. Through WOOFYT, the Wooden One-Octave Organ for Young Technologists, children and families can investigate how organ pipes work, discover the mechanics behind music, and experiment with sound for themselves.

Designed for curious minds of all ages, this interactive activity combines music, engineering and discovery in a fun and accessible way.

Alongside the workshop, families can also enjoy Crafty Cathedral, with free drop-in musical arts and crafts activities running throughout the morning. No booking is needed for the craft activities.

Workshop sessions (75 minutes):

• 9.30am
• 10.50am
• 1.00pm
• 2.20pm

Workshop places are free but must be booked in advance.
