A landmark event in the brass band year, the Ironbridge Gorge Brass Band Festival, co-sponsored by WLT Commercial Property, remains a highlight of the Ironbridge summer calendar. This free festival is one of the best opportunities to hear music from the brass band repertoire played live and in the open air. The Festival is hosted in the beautiful historic Museum of Iron, Coalbrookdale. A unique collection of bands, ranging from competition winners and championship participants, to grass roots players, will entertain with a full performance programme during both days and a Charity Gala Concert on the Saturday evening (ticketed event: £10 per adult, U14 free with paying adult – pay on door or via website). The festival promises music and hospitality to suit all ears and tastes as well as an opportunity to spend some time with the friendly brass band community.
