Description

The West Cornwall Concert Band was founded in 1998 and has performed regularly ever since. It is a friendly and welcoming band with a wide age range of players from youngsters to senior adult.

The band maintains a large ranging repertoire embracing classical, jazz, swing, rock, show, film and TV themes. We perform with local choirs, other bands and musicians in regular concerts throughout the year mainly in the west Cornwall area from Truro to Land's End. We are happy to entertain audiences in venues ranging from big outdoor public events to the more intimate surroundings of small village halls and everything in between.



The band comprises a full range of instruments from woodwind to brass and percussion.

We rehearse at the Camborne Wesley Methodist Church, Chapel Street, Camborne, TR14 8EG every Monday evening, except Bank Holiday Mondays, fom 7pm to 9pm.

New players are always welcome.

The rehearsals are open to anyone who wants to come along and discover the fun and reward of making music with like minded people.

It goes without saying a warm and friendly welcome awaits all new and existing players.

Description

Visitors are now able to enjoy the restored and replanted gardens including the lower quarry garden which is home to Gyllyngdune’s famous shell grotto. Admire the Victorian follies throughout the gardens, like the monolithic arch, shell seats and ‘chapel’ on the seafront.

Wander through the rose walk towards the upper gardens and you will come across our glasshouse, copper water feature and natural play area for younger visitors.

Enjoy lunch, or a coffee and cake in our well appointed new bistro and take in the beautiful vista across the upper lawns and newly opened sea views, or drop by in the evening and see the bandstand and veranda beautifully illuminated.

The gardens are a short distance from the seafront, town centre, the Maritime Museum, Ships & Castles, Gyllyngvase Beach and Pendennis Castle. Please follow the brown signs through town for the Princess Pavilion. We have new secure cycle racks at the entrance to the Pavilion for chaining up your bike, please ask us if you need to hire a bike lock.

Free parking is available on site. Further parking is available at the nearby Dell Car Park (next to the railway station) and in Gyllyngdune Car Park (behind Queen Mary Gardens) near the seafront.
