Slinfold Concert Band is a community band featuring brass and woodwind instruments and percussion. Founded in the late 1970's, the Band takes its name from the village of Slinfold, near Horsham in West Sussex, where it rehearses every week.
The Band may be seen on bandstands, in concert venues and at charity fund-raising events across the South East of England. We are a very busy band taking part in many engagements throughout the year.
See the band next on :
Our next full band event will be Saturday 6th December, Carfax Bandstand for the Horsham Churches Together carol service, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
(Please see below for informtion about various "small band" Christmas events)
We also look forward to seeing you at our other bandstand and concert events this year -

If you would like Slinfold Concert Band to play at your company function, charity event or private party, please contact our Engagements Secretary, Andrew, at engagements@slinfoldconcertband.org
The Band has grown to around fifty members and encourages players of all ages to improve their musical skills and to enjoy making music together. In December 2015 Slinfold Concert Band became a registered charity and is run by a committee of trustees.
The music in the Band's repertoire covers a wide variety of styles and genres including light classical, Big Band, music from film and stage and plenty more besides! The pieces are a diverse range of old and new, lively and relaxing, serious and light-hearted so there is always plenty of interest for audiences and players alike.
