The third concert of 2021 for Chippenham Town Band involved a fair journey to a beautiful Plaza at the Centre Parcs near Longleat.

12th September 2021 John Coles Park Concert, 3-5pm
Our second concert of 2021 and the honour of closing the bandstand season at John Coles Park, Chippenham. It was wonderful to see so many people in the park (including friends and family of band members); we even had a few requests we were able to play! For such a brilliant day we bizarrely ended…
22nd August 2021, Lion’s Cherished Vehicle and Family Fun Day at Meadow Farm Nurseries
Our first concert in 2021 at a splendid location in the height of summer! We played two twenty minute sessions between 2pm and 4pm. It was a delight to be out and about playing music again after a long haitus. There were 3 other groups also performing at the event (Allsorts, Wilde Bunch and 4+1)….
December 2019 – Carols at Morrisons part 2
Our final music played in 2019 (22nd December); a 2 hour set towards the exit at Morrisons where we performed festive tunes as well as more traditional carols.

26th August, Lacock Fair
What an incredibly hot day! We played two sets in the school yard under an unrelenting sun; thankfully the applause from the audience was a worthy reward for our trials. Many a fetching hat was worn, much sun cream applied and lots of water was drunk. Ice lollies were enjoyed in the interval too. The…
11th August 2019, Bandstand Concert, Swindon Town Gardens, 3-4:30pm
It was our first time to play in the Swindon Town Gardens bandstand; quite a stunning park (particularly the rose garden). Unfortunately there was a slight mix-up which meant the bandstand was double-booked so we were only able to play for the second half of the time. We took shelter from the rain as we…
