We're running a Brass Fun day for our Brass Roots Band on the 2nd August and we're inviting anyone along who would like to give a brass instrument a go. It's completely free and an informal, fun opportunity to try out a brass instrument and other musical games.

Who: Anyone 8 years of age and up are welcome to come along, you don't need to have any musical experience! Instruments to play will be provided.

What: 5 hours of brass and musical fun! Have a go at playing a brass instrument alongside our Brass Roots players and experienced helpers. All you need to do is bring is your lunch!

The band will be performing in the show field at Beamish museum. Come along and see us play.

The band will be performing in Exhibition Park in Newcastle. Come along and see us play.

Thanks to the band’s success at our Regional Championship in March, we have been invited to perform at the National Finals, which are being held at York Barbican.

Ellington Colliery Brass Band will be competing at the Stanley Entertainment Contest, performing an entertaining programme designed to showcase the band’s musicality and style. A great day of light-hearted competition and enjoyable music.

The band will be taking part in the local Remembrance Sunday parade, providing music as the community comes together to honour and remember those who gave their lives in service.

Celebrate the festive season with Ellington Colliery Brass Band at our annual Christmas Concert. Enjoy a programme packed with seasonal favourites, uplifting carols, and plenty of festive cheer for all ages.

Join us for a traditional Community Carol Service, featuring well-loved carols and seasonal music from the band. A warm, welcoming way to celebrate the spirit of Christmas together.
