Live Performance
Brass Band
Watership Brass Band, with a current membership of 28 volunteer musicians, meets in Newbury on a weekly basis to indulge in our love of music. Our members are drawn from all walks of life and with an age difference between our youngest and oldest members of over 50 years, we embrace the philosophy that 'music is for ALL'
Watership Brass' motto is 'Serving the Community Musically' and we achieve this by being available for local events. Past venues have included fetes, wedding receptions, church recitals, charity events and bandstand concerts and whilst parades are not often requested, The Remembrance Day Parade is one that we are proud to lead.
The band are having a successful year and look forward to many more years serving the community.
Newbury Racecourse stands as a significant national asset, a dual-code racing and events hub that draws visitors and equine talent from across the country and beyond. Its expansive grounds, home to both flat and jump courses, host a calendar of high-profile fixtures and diverse gatherings, cementing its role as a premier destination in the UK events landscape.
Within its modern structures, a sophisticated atmosphere prevails, where the palpable thrum of anticipation builds with each race. The scent of freshly cut grass often drifts through the air, mingling with the murmur of conversations and the occasional cheer. Thoughtfully designed spaces, from the grandstands to private boxes, offer varied perspectives on the action, ensuring comfort and engagement for all attendees.
Practical considerations are well-addressed, with comprehensive accessibility features including dedicated viewing platforms and accessible facilities throughout the site. Ample free parking is available, and a selection of dining options, from casual fare to exquisite restaurant experiences, caters to diverse tastes. Guests can also enjoy the open spaces, perhaps with a refreshing drink in hand.
Beyond the thrill of competitive racing, which includes prestigious Group 1 flat races and historic jump handicaps, the venue regularly transforms to accommodate a wide array of non-racing events. These range from large-scale conferences and exhibitions to charity runs and popular music events, showcasing its versatility as a year-round destination.
