East Woodhay Silver Band at Victoria Park

What better way to spend a couple of hours on a summer's afternoon than enjoying one of the local brass or silver bands playing at the bandstand in Victoria Park in Newbury.

The band is a village band and draws most its members from the parish. Although the band has entered contests in the past and will probably also enter them in the future, most of the membership play simply because they enjoy making music. However, the band plays to a standard much higher than would be expected from a village band. The band is conducted by Tim Crouter who has been involved in brass bands for many years. Apart from his ability as a conductor, he is also a very fine tuba player.

So bring your deck chairs, picnic rugs and a few refreshments and relax for a couple of hours alongside the Kennet & Avon canal.
