Description

Trimdon Concert Brass Band is a 3rd section contesting band situated in the village of Trimdon, just a 10-minute drive from the City of Durham.

Trimdon Concert Brass began life as the Thornley Colliery Band in 1870 and under this guise were founder members of the Durham Brass Band League. The band relocated to Trimdon in the early 1990s, a move that brought the band closer to its player base and has resulted in strong links being forged throughout the wider East Durham area.

We have a flexible approach to membership and welcome players of varying abilities. We are also able to loan instruments free of charge if you do not have your own.

For those looking to book the band, with a library of over 2000 pieces, we can offer a wide and varied musical programme to suit most occasions, ranging from hymns, to traditional marches and overtures to more modern pop tunes. Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail or check out our website

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.
