Our story...

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. 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. 
Due to family commitments and Covid-19, sadly the shop had to downsize and Fran continues to run PoppyHarp by appointment only. 
PoppyHarp is a harp showroom for Pilgrim Harps, Derwent Harps and Silver Spear Harps.
​It is also a tuition and harp hub for harpists locally - running harp based events and opportunities.
