The Byron Festival takes place from Friday 3rd to Sunday 12th July and celebrates the life and links of Lord Byron with a mixture of specialist talks and community events.
The Musical Extravaganza will close the 10 day festival in fine style with music ranging from the Romantic era of Byron through to the present day. Admission is £5 and advance tickets can be obtained by calling at the John Godber Centre or calling 0115 963 9633.
A Newstead Brass spokesman commented, “We’re delighted to be part of the Byron Festival again and celebrating the links between Newstead Abbey where Byron lived and Hucknall where he is buried. We’re looking forward to sharing the concert with the Torkard ensemble who have gone from strength to strength since they were founded five years ago. It should be a fitting conclusion to the annual festival.”
