Picnics and Proms with Newstead Brass

Picnics are welcome as award winning Newstead Brass focus on ‘Picnics and Proms’ as their Summer concert season continues across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

This Saturday (July 2nd), Newstead Brass play a ‘Summer Proms’ night at the Radcliffe-on-Trent Golf Club, starting at 7.00pm. The event is organised by the Hilltoppers Golf Society, and proceeds will support their joint appeal with Hucknall Rotary Club to purchase a state of the art Prismaflex machine for the Children’s Intensive Care Unit at Nottingham’s Queen's Medical Centre. Tickets cost £7.50 and the audience are invited to ‘bring your picnic, chairs, flags and bunting and have a great sing song.’

On Sunday July 10th, Newstead Brass will return to the ‘Picnic in the Park’ organised by the ‘Friends of Nottingham University’ in the Millennium Garden at the university from noon until 3.00 pm. As well as music by the band, the free event also includes Rocket Making, Pond Dipping and Birds of Prey demonstration.

Newstead Brass complete their Picnics and Proms, which began on June 25th with the annual ‘Picnic in the Park’ at Hayes Farm in Newstead to support the Friends of Chernobyl’s Children, with the ‘Picnic in Crossley Park’ at Ripley on Saturday July 16th. Newstead Brass will be joined by the skiffle group ‘Please Y Self’ for the annual free event which forms part of the Ripley Music Festival and will conclude with a firework display accompanied by live music from Newstead Brass.
