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.
Our B Band will be performing with the Northowram Singers at St Matthew's Church Northowram on Saturday 29th November 7.30pm Free admission with a collection for Overgate Hospice and the Church.
Come along and listen to the Senior band taking part in a production of Brassed Off given by the Cleckheaton and Spenborough Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society between Wednesday 19th and Saturday 22nd November at Batley Town Hall, Tickets selling fast so contact the Town Hall to book your tickets.

The cost of running a brass band as any local organisation can be very expensive. The band relies on the generous donations from our Patrons and supporters throughout the year.
