Who can come?
The Community Band is open to any adult (aged 18 and over) who wishes to improve their existing playing, and to graduates of our complete beginners course.
Ever fancied learning an instrument but never had the chance? You’re in luck! Our next completely free complete beginner 8 week course will start on 7th January 2025! Sign up here!
How much does it cost?
We are offering an 8 week course of sessions + the loan of an instrument completely free of charge. Once you graduate from the course our subscription is £12 per month if you choose to continue. Sign up here!
Instrument Loan
Instruments will be available to loan for those who require them at no additional cost. This instrument can be taken home to practise in between the Community Band sessions. All we ask is that you take good care of it and if it gets damaged, please let us know.

Our bandroom is upstairs in this unit (accessible with a stairlift) and has plentiful space for teaching and full band rehearsals. There is also ample free parking at both the front and rear of the building.
