Music in the Park

There is no better way to spend a summer’s afternoon than enjoying live music in a well lovely park with a historic bandstand such as the one located in Parsons’s Close Recreation Ground. Why not come join us, admission is FREE, just don’t forget to bring a chair.

Band concerts on a Sunday afternoon take place from June to September.

The Town Council has organised Sunday afternoon band concerts for many years which showcase brass and silver bands from around the region. The concerts now include jazz and popular music offering a diverse and entertaining programme to suit all tastes. This will take place every Sunday 3pm – 5pm.

Visitors have the opportunity to purchase refreshments throughout the concert from the newly opened kiosk located by the Splash ‘N’ Play park.

New Grand Finale for 2019

On Saturday 14th September, our concert series drew to a close with an evening performance featuring live singers and a full concert band, before the live big screen coverage of the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms. The concert began at 6:30pm was was closed by a spectacular firework finale.

A big thank you to everyone that came along to support and enjoy our Music in the Park Band Concerts this year. We look forward to delivering next year’s programme, watch this space!
