We are thrilled to announce that Wellington (Telford) Brass Band will be attending the highly anticipated Wychavon Festival of Brass this year! Members have been hard at work preparing a programme to entertain the crowd and show our unique style in this celebration of brass music.
📅 What to Expect
The Wychavon Festival of Brass is a vibrant annual brass band competition and entertainment event held in the historic market town of Evesham, Worcestershire. Each year, bands from across the UK come together to share their musical talents in front of enthusiastic audiences, performing in a day-long contest that blends entertainment with exceptional musicianship.
🎶 Entertaining the Audience — Theme Ideas
As we look ahead to our performance, we’re exploring creative themes that will engage both the audience and adjudicators.
📜 A Short History of the Festival
The Wychavon Festival of Brass began in the late 1980s as an initiative by the Vale of Evesham Commerce and Tourism Association to raise the profile of the town and bring outstanding brass music to local audiences. Originally held in Evesham’s Market Square and nearby All Saints Church, the event grew quickly, moving between towns such as Pershore and Droitwich before returning to Evesham permanently in 2013.
Today, the festival remains one of the UK’s most enjoyable brass band entertainment contests, featuring bands across Championship, First, Second, Third and Fourth sections, with over 70 performances throughout the day. It’s not just a competition — it’s a celebration of brass music, community spirit and creativity.
🎉 Join the Celebration!
We can’t wait to take the stage and share our music with you at Wychavon. Stay tuned for updates on our chosen theme and performance pieces as we get closer to contest day. Whether you’re cheering from the audience or playing on stage, it’s going to be a memorable celebration of brass!
