Brass bands will be performing at a series of free Sunday afternoon concerts this summer in Mansfield’s Carr Bank Park.

The performances, which have been organised by Mansfield District Council’s Parks Department, will take place at the recently-erected bandstand in the heart of the park, from 2pm to 4pm, on various dates from May to September. All are welcome.

The summer programme is:

Sunday 8 May Shirebrook Miners’ Welfare Band
Sunday 5 June Pleasley Colliery Band
Sunday 24 July Blidworth Welfare Band
Sunday 7 August Holymoorside Band
Sunday 11 September Whitwell Band

​Director of Place and Wellbeing at Mansfield District Council Martyn Saxton said: “Carr Bank Park will be alive with the sound of music, so why not pack a picnic and soak up the summer with these free events. Bring your friends and family along for a great afternoon out in the fresh air.”
