Buxton Festival is Back

One of the most popular regional events in the banding calendar is set to return. Buxton Brass Band Festival will take place on Sunday 15th May at its traditional home of the  Pavilion Arts Centre. The North West Area Brass Bands Association (NWABBA) has been determined to ensure the event returned after the enforced Covid-19 hiatus and have worked with the management to ensure that it returns to its place in the brass band calendar. 

There will be four sections of competition: Championship; First; Second; Third and Fourth with podium prize money in each of £300; £200 and £100 respectively. Percussion will be provided, with the contest rules run in accordance with NWABBA and the British Brass Band Registry. To assist competitors Fourth Section bands may borrow 5 players from their own section or no more than 3 players from the Third Section plus 2 from the Fourth Section. Championship, Second and Third Section Bands may borrow up to 5 players from their own section or below. Child Protection issues are covered by the organisers with full details provided on the entry form.
