New Home for the Band

New Home for the Band

We are delighted to announce that the band has found new rehearsal facilities after being evicted out of our home  for the last 93 years.  Blackshaw Holdings Ltd who were our landlord issued the notice last year as they are wanting to develop the land where the bowling green and band room have stood since 1911.  This has been a difficult time for our two bands.   After looking around the area we are very pleased that Towngate plc offered the band facilities at in Parkview House on the Woodvale Business Park in Brighouse.   We are extremely grateful to the Smith family from Clifton who own the premises for them being so supportive, welcoming and genuinely interested in helping us find a location that suits our needs.   We are holding an open afternoon on Sunday 30th November 2025 between 2.00pm and 4.00pm and we invite our Patrons and supporters to come and have a look around and share some refreshments with us.
