The Central England Concert Band makes a welcome return to the Gardens for an afternoon of songs from stage and screen. Everything from Les Miserables through the Pirates of the Caribbean to where ‘no man has gone before’ Star Trek …. and who knows after that.
CECB is the the community ensemble with a pedigree reaching back to 1980. Currently led by musical director Rob Spalton. Rob is, among other things, ‘Head of Brass’ at Repton School in Derbyshire. Expect some good strong brass band sounds this afternoon .
‘A jet engine is no match for a band full of brass’ … she says, cocking a snook at the skies .
Our gates are open at 12.30 as usual, the set starts about 2pm with a break and will finish about 4pm.
Buy an advanced ticket here, or on the door. Seats are unreserved. You are welcome – nay encouraged – to bring a picnic and your own seating etc.

Hurry Hurry, these are the very last tickets for the Hop ….Make sure you have yours
Im afraid there is no waiting list. One or two may become available during the day at the 40s event, but due to space restrictions, we cannot sell any on the door.
After a day in the field, we have a night of nostalgia, with musicians from the Ashby Big Band and our very own crooner king, Kevin Mack.
The Hop takes place in the MaltHouse at Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel, from seven(ish) to eleven(ish). On site Bar and a Fab Forties bar menu.
Come with your glad rags on!
The venue is relatively small, please limit your ticket purchases to 5 to allow everyone to have a chance to come. A small number of tickets will be on sale on the day.
