The popular Brass at the Seaside Festival will return for a fifth time to Lytham St Anne's in July.

This year there is a special Schools Day which forms part of a series of concerts that brings brass bands together from all over Lancashire and Yorkshire over the weekend of Friday 12th, Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th July.

Primary schools

The Friday sees children from six primary schools coming together at the Lowther Pavilion for a day of music making sponsored by Brass Bands England and Fylde Council.
