Shirebrook leads the bandstand attractions

The brilliant summer weather is ideal to listen to brass bands in the open air — especially in Shirebrook

  Go along and listen to the bands if the weather stays as nice as it is...

The great summer weather means there is no time like the present to enjoy brass band concerts in the park around the country.

Chief amongst them is the series taking place at Shirebrook Town Park which start at 2.00pm each month.
