Lancashire's seaside rendezvous

There is a fantastic weekend of music making on show at Lytham St Anne's Bandstand next month — and your band can be a part of it.

Bandstand
  There is also still a chance to take part on the weekend

Lancashire Music Hub's 'Brass at the Seaside' returns to Lytham St Anne's Bandstand next month when a series of free performances will take place on the weekend of Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th July.

Free schedule

In addition to the free bandstand schedule, a Gala Concert will be held on Saturday evening where Lancashire Youth Brass Band and St Helens Youth Brass Band join forces at St Thomas' Church.

In addition, there will also be a series of fun, family friendly activities to give people the opportunity to try a brass instrument and find out more about musical opportunities in Lancashire.
