Description

We are a friendly and lively brass band in Marple, Stockport and we are currently competing in the 3rd section.

Hawk Green Band has no commercial sponsors and its members work hard throughout the year raising the funds required to run the band. Each year the band represents Marple and Hawk Green at local functions and in contests and provides entertainment at several events which have become an annual fixture.

You can find us at our bandroom located on Station Road in Marple, on the edge of Memorial Park.

Description

Not technically a Bandstand as there is no actual stand, however it is host to a number of concerts.

Marple Memorial Park was built on land donated by local families. It opened in 1922 to commemorate all the Marple soldiers who died during World War 1.

Today, it is at the heart of the local community, housing the library, health centre and other public buildings. The park provides a wide range of outdoor leisure facilities for all ages. These include a new skatepark, play areas, multi-use games areas and teen seating. The park is a good starting point for local walks or for exploring local history. On a clear day there are stunning views of the Peak District hills. Other attractions include a bowling green, French boules court, tree sculptures, sensory gardens and many heritage features.

Limited mobility access: most parts of the park are wheelchair accessible on tarmac paths.
