About PoppyHarp

PoppyHarp began as a final year project at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire by Fran Barsby.
It was a way to publish tuition books without the crazy costs and palaver of a publishing company.
It quickly grew and became a shop in the beautiful gardens of the Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick.
In just a few months PoppyHarp outgrew this space and moved to a large town centre location in Warwick, UK. 
​In 2022 Fran moved to West Sussex and now runs PoppyHarp from her Harp Studio (appointment only).
