Bagpiper hire in Doncaster
“The bagpipes can express every emotion—joy, grief, pride, mourning. The sound reaches deep into the soul” – John Buchan
Over 30 Years of Piping Experience
I’m Ed Arnold, a bagpiper based in Sheffield and available for events in Doncaster and across South Yorkshire. I’ve been playing for over 30 years, performing at thousands of weddings, funerals, birthdays and other occasions. I’ve competed with various pipe bands, taught at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate for over eight years, and regularly perform with Gaelforce.
Flexible Options for Every Occasion
A wedding entrance, a birthday surprise or a personal farewell: we can choose the music and timings around your occasion. For a funeral, I can play as the hearse arrives, lead a procession or play at the graveside. For a celebration, a few favourite tunes can be all you need. Scottish or Irish dress is available, with electronic pipes as an option for quieter indoor settings.
Based in Yorkshire, Available Everywhere
Based in Yorkshire, Ed is perfectly positioned to serve Doncaster, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, York, Hathersage, Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Leeds. No event is too far — Ed is an enthusiastic traveller who has performed not only across the UK but also internationally in Croatia, France, Spain, Germany and Slovenia.
Kind words from happy clients
Perfect!
Ed performed at our wedding reception on Friday and was incredible. He was very professional and helpful from the minute we booked him and he didn’t disappoint us on the day. He was very patient as we were later than planned and he played as the guests arrived – who all said how fabulous he sounded. Thank you so much for being part of our day!
Tremendous!
I arranged for Ed to come and play at our wedding reception which we were holding at our house, as a surprise for my new husband! It was a wonderful surprise for him and our guests and I can honestly say it just topped the whole day off! Ed was lovely and his bagpipe playing was just tremendous. Thank you Ed for helping to make our day so special and one we will always remember. x
