Wellington (Telford) Brass Band at Second Section Midlands Championships – March 2026

On Saturday morning, my husband and I arrived at Wellington Station to begin walking a section of the Shropshire Way. We were drawn to the sound of music in the market square and were delighted to discover the Wellington brass band playing there. We stayed for a few minutes listening to your lovely music before heading out of town on our hike. Well done to all the musicians for playing so well and thank you for such a joyful and uplifting start to our walk.
