Pershore starts to gear up for bands

Once again there is a great line up of bands to provide a day of brass band entertainment in Pershore on July 5th.

Pershore Abbey
 

One of the most popular brass band festival events of the year is starting to gear up for a full day of music making.

Unique

The unique Pershore Midsummer Brass Festival takes place on Saturday 5th July with a plethora of bands from different parts of the country and of all standards, providing brilliant entertainment around the picturesque market town.

Top flight bands such as Tongwynlais Temperance, fresh from their appearance at the European Brass Band Championships in Perth, and local favourites Jaguar Land Rover and Staffordshire can be heard alongside the likes of Bilton Silver Training, Lydney Training and 30 others at family friendly venues as well as the lovely Pershore Abbey (above).

All the information about who, what, where and when can be found on the Pershore Festival of Brass website and by ordering your tickets in advance you can also make some brilliant savings too.

An all day family ticket will cost just £40 (with under 10s free!) — so why not bring your own, or treat the grand children!
