Piping Live! Is an annual week-long celebration of bagpipes from across the world, embracing Scotland’s heritage and that of piping cultures from around the globe. Based in Glasgow city centre, it is now celebrating its 20th edition, having been delivered in-person and online continuously since August 2004.

The festival coincides with the World Pipe Band Championships, held annually on Glasgow Green and run by the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association and Glasgow Life.  

It is no secret that the past few years have been difficult for the events industry, and Piping Live! has been so grateful for all your support - this year, these challenges have been compounded by a reduction in funding available from our key funder.

We hope you can consider donating to Piping Live! to help keep Piping Live! coming back bigger and better in future years, we hope to see you all back here at the Street Cafe, The National Piping Centre and at our concerts across Glasgow next year!

Here is a snapshot of what your donation supports:

  • Providing 59% of programmed events free at Piping Live!
  • Performances by some of the top musicians from the Piping World from across the globe.
  • Our LearnLive! Programme
  • Our community engage programme
  •  Our “Gig in the Gallery” series at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

You can donate through our CAF Donate page, where we can also collect GiftAid from UK taxpayers - we can reclaim 25p for every pound donated from tax you pay for the current tax year.
