Brass in the Bandstand brings a free brass band performance to the classic surroundings of Bournemouth’s seafront bandstand. It takes place on 23 August 2026, out on the promenade in the heart of town, with the beach and the sea close at hand.
What to expect
Expect the warm, full-bodied sound of a brass band carrying across the seafront on a summer’s afternoon. It is a relaxed, come-as-you-are occasion rather than a ticketed concert, and entry is free. The programme is confirmed closer to the date, so it is worth checking the venue’s official listing for the latest details.
Planning your visit
The Bournemouth Bandstand stands on the promenade, a short stroll from the pier, the Lower Gardens and plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants for before or after. There is limited seating nearby, so many visitors bring a chair or blanket and settle in for the music. Timings can change, so check the venue’s official listing before you head down.
