Hide AdEvensong will be sung by the church choirs and Father Bert Cooper at 6pm to end the event.
Derek Yeates, from the church, said: "The existing church organ has been giving cause for concern for some years now. James together with the rector, Father Timothy Peskett, sought advice from the Chichester diocesan organ adviser, Dr Alan Thurlow, who says the instrument should be replaced.
"The 'organathon' is among a number of planned fundraising ideas. People are warmly invited to pop into the church during the day to enjoy the music. Refreshments will be available, starting with breakfast, at 8am."
