Sidmouth Town Band announces longest season of 16 concerts and the Last Night of the Proms for 2025
Sidmouth Town Band will begin their annual summer season of concerts at the Connaught Gardens, Sidmouth on Sunday 25 May at 8pm. Playing every Sunday evening until 7 September, the band will be performing a total of 16 concerts which is the longest run possible.
Proving incredibly popular every year, the concerts offer a relaxing way to enjoy some of the very best brass band music in the South West, all in the setting of the beautiful Connaught Gardens. Playing a wide variety of music including show and film themes, traditional classical and modern arrangements, the concerts are always well attended. For regular concert goers there are also some new compositions and arrangements to look out for as the season progresses.
There really is no better way to unwind and round off your weekend than in front of the unique bandstand among the well cared for gardens. It is quite possibly the best setting in the country to enjoy good music and unwind. Concerts starts at 8pm and are free to attend, though donations are welcome. Some deck chairs are available but it is advised to bring your own seating if you can due to high demand.
Later in the season, the band will once again also be performing its Last Night of the Proms on Saturday 16 August at 7.30pm. There will be a guest celebrity compere, soloists and a varied programme of music leading up to the proms favourites. Keep an eye out in the on the band’s website and press for further ticket information.
It is a reflection on the band’s commitment to providing entertainment for visitors and residents alike, that they perform for the entire summer, something not undertaken by many bands around country.
