Booking A Piper In Cumbria

What You'll Need To Know

Pipers in Cumbria cost from £131 to £1268. The average price in 2025 was £308. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into Cumbria from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.
