The workshop will take place at Aberystwyth Town Football Club (SY23 1PG) from 12.30pm to 5.00pm and is open to upper and lower brass players alike, whether you are an experienced player, returning to playing, or developing new skills.

A spokesperson told 4BR: "This workshop is designed to be welcoming and confidence-building for all who take part. We want the players to return to their bands enthused and inspired or just renewed in their love for banding."

Participants will enjoy a varied and engaging afternoon including:
