Description

Banks Brass Band was formed in 1875 in the village of Banks, 5 miles north of Southport in Lancashire, England. We are a traditional English village brass band and we perform at a variety of events within the village and throughout Lancashire.

For well over a hundred years Banks Brass Band has provided the musical accompaniment to life in and around our village. Throughout its history the Band has been extremely fortunate to receive the support and enthusiasm of local people, both as players and supporters. It is our ambition that this tradition should flourish well into the future.

Our members are very proud of the fact that the Band has always had strong family connections. Some families have been involved with the Band since its formation in 1875! Today there are still plenty of families with several members in the Band.

Description

Just a few minutes out of the Southport centre in Churchtown is Southport's Botanic Gardens.

Originally opened in 1874, these Victorian gardens are bursting with floral splendour and colourful displays.

Winding through the park is the garden’s lake and a multitude of pathways.

There is an aviary, gift shop and café too, so there’s plenty to see and explore.

Concerts take place on the band lawn.
