And that's a wrap for Summer Season 2026! We ended in style on Sunday with our Requests Night, with all music played having been chosen in advance by our audience. Which meant we got to enjoy some wonderful solos - "Only For You" played by Soprano player Matt Sherwood, "Novella" by Ruby Taylor on Cornet and Dylan Travers on Euphonium, and "Autumn Leaves" played by Flugel player Fiona Harvey. Well done to all our soloists this summer! 👏👏

We would like to thank all of the guests that have joined us at the Connaught Gardens this summer - both as players and conductors. A special thank you to our conductors who all stepped in with little notice - Steve Sykes, David Boorer and especially David Hayward who has given us a huge amount of time the last few months. Thank you all very much!

And lastly of course thank you to our Friends of Sidmouth Town Band and all those who have come to see us at the Connaught Gardens this summer. We are so incredibly grateful for all the support you continue to give us!

See you all again next summer! 🎶🎺

A reminder that it is our final concert of the summer season tonight, starting at 8pm, with a programme chosen by our amazing audiences. It has been a fantastic season, so please do come along and help us end it in style!

Even in the wind and rain we can still count on our supporters to turn up! 👏👏 Some tricky conditions at the Connaught Gardens on Sunday but the band coped with them well under guest conductor David Hayward. A special shoutout to soloists Charles Travers on Tenor Horn and Chris Sweetapple on Baritone - it's never easy to stand up and play a solo, let alone when the music stand is threatening to blow over! 🌬

This Sunday is our final concert of the season, which means it's request night! We have a cracking programme full of pieces chosen by our audience, so make sure you come along to enjoy. Sunday, 8pm at the Connaught Gardens!

26/08/2026

A reminder that our Training Band will be performing at the Connaught Gardens at 7pm on Sunday, before the Town Band give their penultimate concert of the season at 8pm under the leadership of the wonderful David Hayward.

Not only can you hear us at our Last Night of the Proms on Saturday, and our usual Sunday night concert at 8pm, but you can also hear our Training Band play on Sunday at 7pm. It's a busy weekend, but what better way to ease through the weekend than listening to live music in the beautiful Connaught Gardens. Hope to see many of you join us for at least one of these!
