We love entertaining audiences and supporting local events throughout the year.

📅 Follow our page for concert dates, news, photos and videos from ESB 🎶 Eastbourne Silver Band is a traditional amateur, non-contesting, concert Band and is based in Eastbourne. The Band has a regular practice each Thursday evening, in St John's Parish Hall, from 8pm. The Hall is located on the junction of Meads Stree

t and Beachy Head Road (just along from Tesco and The Ship public house). The Band plays at numerous functions and engagements throughout the year. As the Band is self financing, a small charge is normally made for these attendances. All the players, office holders, and the Musical Director are volunteers and receive no monetary benefit from membership. They do, however, benefit from the friendship and enjoyment of playing together. The famous 1812 Overture, classical, modern, march and pop are part of the repertoire. Also included are specimen pieces especially written for the band by the current Musical Director and, of course, the ever popular Christmas Morning Concert of Carols and Christmas favourites. The Band consists of a wide and differing range of people. From pensioners to policemen, teachers to technicians, store men to students. The Band welcomes players of all abilities and from all walks of life. The Band currently has vacancies in all sections and would be pleased to hear from any brass players with an interest in joining.

🎶 A huge thank you from Eastbourne Silver Band! 🎶

Following the wonderful success of "Eastbourne Soup", Eastbourne's Community Play and the many kind comments we’ve received about the band, we just wanted to say how grateful we are for all the support and encouragement.

As a community band, recommendations and positive reviews really do make a big difference. They help more people discover us, support what we do, and invite us to be part of future local events, concerts and community projects.

If you’ve enjoyed hearing Eastbourne Silver Band recently — whether at Eastbourne Soup, a concert, carnival, carols, or any other event — we’d be so grateful if you could take a moment to recommend us or leave a positive review on our page.
