In these darker, colder days of autumn, there’s no better combination to help keep warm and raise the spirits than Christmas and a brass band.

Residents and visitors to Sidmouth have a chance to experience both and kick off their Christmas celebrations with the Sidmouth Town Band.

The group will be performing at the Manor Pavilion Theatre next Friday (December 7) and Saturday (December 8), starting at 7.30pm and 2.30pm, respectively.

The concerts will feature some brand new arrangements of festive favourites blended with traditional seasonal music and a few light-hearted surprises mixed in for good measure.

Tickets are already selling fast for these two concerts so, to make sure you don’t miss out on what promises to be two great musical treats. Tickets are £5 and can be purchased from the Manor Pavilion Box Office on 01395 514413.
