The Bandstand Marathon

What To See

We usually have brass and silver bands playing at the North West Vintage Rally, but this year we are doing something a little bit different. We are joining the UK wide run up to 2012 by being part of the Cultral Olympiad as one of the host venues for the Bandstand Marathon.

The Bandstand Marathon first took place on the weekend of 27/28 September 2008 as part of the launch Open Weekend of the Cultural Olympiad and was organised by Music Development Agency, SUPERACT!

So to contribute to the marathon, the official date and time of which is 2.00pm on 26th September we are hosting a multitude of brass and silver bands over the whole weekend, truly a marathon feat!

Bands will be playing on both the 25th and 26th September and will include:

United Co-op Band (Crewe)
Sale Brass Band

Parr Brass Band
Warrington Salvation Army

Plus yet to be confirmed bands for the Saturday.

More details will follow as soon as they are available, along with times and website links so you can see the history and prowess of each band before the event.

Another fantastic experience for the whole family awaits at this years event.
