Description

A Touch of Brass is a Teesside based ensemble of brass musicians. Formed at the start of 2017, the group prides itself on the quality and the entertainment value of its concerts.

The ensemble has a varied repertoire of exciting and inspiring music, much of which is arranged especially for the group.

A Touch of Brass is available for bookings and usually performs as a ten piece group but can provide a smaller ensemble, such as a quintet, if required. The musical programme can be tailored to your event, be it a garden party, community event, wedding or seasonal concert.

Description

Not actually a Bandstand but an outdoor Amphitheatre in the centre of the park.

You can drive into the park from 8.30am to 7.00pm daily. After this time pedestrian access remains open with 24 hour access to the park.

There is limited parking for 25 cars which includes three blue badge holder bays - 50p per half hour (max stay of 3 hours)

Wharton Park is built on a hill and access for many visitors may be a problem. We have improved access to the park where possible but this is a difficult site due to the steep inclines around the park.
From the car park located at the top of Framwellgate Peth you can access the Heritage Centre with ease and use our disabled viewing area to look down on the Amphitheatre and over the park and city.
Should you wish to access the Amphitheatre and lower level of the park such as the Community Garden area, we would advise you to use the North Road ramped access point. Using this entrance will still involve an incline however this is far less steep than accessing via the upper car park.
