Christmas Wurlitzer concert planned for Saltaire

Organist Andrew Nix is due to perform at Victoria Hall on Sunday 13 December.

A Christmas concert featuring the Victoria Hall Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ is scheduled to take place in Saltaire in December.

Andrew Nix, an organist from Yorkshire, is named as the performer for the event. The concert listing gives the date as Sunday 13 December 2026 and the venue as Victoria Hall, Saltaire. Its published timings are 2.30pm to 4.45pm, although the accompanying event description says the concert is at 2pm. Those attending may wish to check the start time before travelling.

From carols to theatre music

Nix began learning music as a child, teaching himself Christmas carols on his mother’s organ before taking lessons. He later performed on theatre and electronic organs, and was appointed organist and musical director for a theatre group at Butlins in Barry Island when he was 17.

The event information says his concert repertoire ranges from ballads and Latin music to marches and musical theatre. It also describes him as having toured with a Roland Atelier since 2000 as a freelance artist for Roland UK.

Light refreshments are due to be available. First-time visitors will also be able to go below the stage to see the organ chambers, which contain nearly 1,000 pipes and percussion instruments, according to the listing.

Tickets and access

General admission is listed at £13. Tickets are £5 for people under 26, while under-18s can attend free. The event is described as suitable for all ages.

Tickets can be booked in advance through Stubservant or purchased at the door, where cash and card payments are accepted.

Victoria Hall is at Saltaire, BD18 3JS. The venue information says there is level access from the Lockwood Street entrance via a lift. Saltaire railway station is described as a few minutes’ walk away.
