Heathfield Silver Band
Heathfield Silver Band is a friendly, lively, non-contesting brass band based in Heathfield (East Sussex). We were founded in 1888 and have continued serving the area since that date, except for a brief war-time break. The band plays at local events in and around Heathfield and often further afield. If you enjoy playing a wide range of music and like to have fun then come along!We are a registered charity (no. 273068) and, although we generally earn a fee at engagements, we often perform to raise money for other charities. The players receive no payment. The band is always seeking to increase its membership and we currently have vacancies in several sections. We welcome players of any age or ability and offer our training band to complete novices.
We rehearse every Tuesday at our own bandroom in Alexandra Road, Heathfield, TN21 8EA, from 7.30-9.30 pm (with a tea break!). Our training band meets the same evening from 6.30-7.15 pm. For further information on our activities please contact the Band Secretary, Mallory Hansford, on 01435 817201.
